NEW YORK — Tracy Morgan will host the Oct. 17 episode of “Saturday Night Live,” NBC announced on Monday.

Morgan will return to Studio 8H on October 17 for his second time as host. As a former cast member, Morgan earned acclaim for his seven seasons on “SNL” and was Emmy nominated for his role on the award-winning comedy series “30 Rock.”

Morgan, The “30 Rock” and former “Saturday Night Live” star, was seriously injured last June after a Wal-Mart truck slammed into the limo occupied by Morgan and four others on the New Jersey Turnpike. The collision killed Morgan’s long-time friend comedian James McNair and injured the other passengers. Morgan was hospitalized with broken ribs, a broken nose, a broken femur and a broken leg.

Earlier this month, it was revealed the truck driver’s fatigue — exacerbated by his decision to drive 12 hours to work before he even started his 14-hour shift — likely caused the crash, federal officials said.

Very good to see how far he's come.

That's fucking awesome. Will be great to see him making people laugh again.

Awesome news. I was afraid he'd never return to comedy.

Clickbait title eluded the search.

Wow it was last year? I thought it was at least 2 years ago, he's coming along fast. Good to hear, hope to see him on Kimmy Schmidt if he's up for it.

Exactly. I like my thread titles clear. Don't try to lure me inside with a guessing game. If I'm interested in the subject I'll be there.

That being said, this is awesome news. I thought Tracy had significant permanent brain damage, so I'm hoping this is a sign that his recovery is doing better than expected.

I prefer this non-clickbait version. Good job on the thread title OP.

Awesome news! Glad he is recovering! I remember when his status was unclear and we all feared the worst.

This show is awful. I miss Mad TV. :/

 

[The Lamonster]

Glad to see he's doing well enough for live TV.

MadTV had a lot of awful years, maybe most of them.

The last few years of that show were putrid.

Great news. I thought I read an article linked on GAF that he had some serious brain issues due to the accident. That a hoax?

I'm not a fan of SNL at all lol. It's just those last few years felt so "off" without Michael McDonald.
