Tracy Morgan Recovers From His Scary Car Crash With Help From Family and Friends - Closer Weekly

Live from New York, it’s Tracy Morgan!

The funnyman, who suffered a traumatic brain injury in an auto accident in June 2014, recently made a stunning announcement — he’s returning to NBC (his 30 Rock home) to host Saturday Night Live on Oct. 17.
