1. >“This is incredible,” Morgan, 56, told actor and comedian Matt Rogers during the SNL50: The Red Carpet special on Sunday, Feb. 16. “Just thank the Lord that I’m a part of this, that I survived the accident and I’m alive to be here for this.”

   >In June 2014, a Walmart truck hit Morgan’s limo from behind while speeding on the New Jersey Turnpike. Morgan broke his leg and was in a coma for two weeks after the accident, which killed his collaborator and mentor James McNair and left others injured. The comedian was in a wheelchair for five months and later, had to relearn how to speak and walk.

2. Damn, it’s been ten years?

3. It’s all thanks to the excellent care of Dr. Spaceman.

4. Even luckier that Eddie Murphy parodied him.

5. It’s been ten years?!?!

6. He’s hilarious. Were lucky to have him too!

7. He looked legitimately good tonight, like he was moving around normally again for the first time since his accident (that I’ve seen).

8. Hopefully he does something relevant in comedy soon
