#BBB NEWS| Tracy Morgan Performs For Doctors And Nurses Who Saved His Life

Almost two years after the car crash that seriously injured Tracy Morgan and killed his good friend James McNair, the comedian is getting back to business. He’s near the home stretch of his nationwide stand up tour called Picking Up The Pieces, and this past weekend, he had some very special attendees in the audience.

People reports the former 30 Rock star performed at the State Theatre in New Brunswick, N.J. Saturday, Apr. 16 for an audience full of the doctors, first responders and nurses from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, who treated him on his road to recovery.

“Last night was one of the most special nights of my life,” the 47-year-old told the magazine. “To be standing on stage with the people that saved my life in the audience was an overwhelming experience. I will never fully be able to thank the doctors, nurses, first responders and everyone else that got me back on that stage enough.”

Tracy Morgan: After suffering from a severe brain injury following a fatal six-vehicle crash that killed his friend, comedian James McNair, last June, the comic also sued Walmart for negligence after one of its employees behind the wheel of a tractor-trailer rear-ended Morgan’s limo bus and caused the accident.

While updates on Morgan’s condition have trickled through the past few months—some borderline heart-wrenching, reports have emerged that the 30 Rock star has settled the crash suit.

According to BBC News, Morgan’s lawyer, Benedict Morelli, said Walmart “took full responsibility for the accident” after prosecutors alleged the driver had not slept for more than 24 hours.
