Comedian and "30 Rock" cast member Tracy Morgan says he'll be back at work Tuesday after being hospitalized while attending the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, The Associated Press reports.

Morgan's publicist, Lewis Kay, says the actor suffered from exhaustion and altitude when he collapsed Sunday in Park City, where the elevation is 7,000 feet.

Morgan posted Monday on Twitter that "Superman ran into a little Kryptonite," adding that the high altitude "shook up this kid from Brooklyn." Kay says hospital officials reported no drugs or alcohol were found in Morgan's system.

Morgan attended Sundance in connection with the comedy film "Predisposed," one of the 100 films at the festival, in which he plays a drug dealer named Sprinkles. The movie also features Jesse Eisenberg as a pianist and Melissa Leo as his drug-addicted mother.

"It was really frightening last [Sunday] night when it was happening," the movie's director Ron Nyswaner told Entertainment Weekly. "But Tracy is so beloved that he was taken care of by a lot of people."
