This is a little hard to watch but Tracy Morgan was on the Today Show this morning, giving his first interview since the ghastly freeway accident that injured him severely and took the life of fellow comedian James "Jimmy Mack" McNair. I suspect this appearance had a lot to do with the surely-huge monetary settlement that he just accepted from the Walmart company. Morgan had his attorney with him to prompt him on things he wanted to or had to say. It sure sounds like that as a condition of the settlement, he had to make this public appearance — and maybe others — and say what he said about Walmart. One assumes it's sincere.
It's just sad to see a funny man like that suffering…though comforting in a way that he's mended enough to make even this appearance. But everyone's rooting for this guy and I'm imagining one of the biggest ovations in the history of television when he's well enough to make even a tiny cameo appearance on Saturday Night Live.
