Some of Saturday Night Live’s greatest got together over the weekend to celebrate the show’s 40th Anniversary. However, one beloved personality was mission from the celebration, Tracy Morgan. Last year Morgan was involved in a fatal limo-bus crash, that took the life of his friend James “Jimmy Mack” McNair. Morgan was also severely injured when the Wal-Mart tractor trailer truck crashed into the tour limo. Instead, Morgan’s 30 Rock co-star’s Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin reunited to honor their injured friend.
Check out Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey’s touching tribute to Tracy Morgan during the 40th Anniversary special.
The New York Post Page Six is reporting that Morgan was not ready to return to TV, quoting an unnamed friend of the comedian as saying:
“They really wanted him to be there, but when it came down to it, he just isn’t mentally or emotionally ready to appear on TV yet.”
Last year, Tracy Morgan’s lawyer, Benedict Morelli, opened up about Morgan’s health status in a statement to the press (Via Associated Press):
"He's fighting to get better, and if there's a chance for him to be back to the Tracy Morgan he once was, he's going to try to do that. But we just don't know because of the severity of the injuries that he sustained and the fact that he had such a severe brain injury."
Morelli also went on to add that Morgan has a long road ahead of him:
"When you have a traumatic brain injury it takes a very long time to find out how you're going to do and how much you're going to recover. You just don't know. So that's where he is. He's still fighting and trying to live his life at the same time and trying to get better, and he's just not better. We're hoping and praying to get him back to where he was. But the jury's out."
