Triumphant Return to Stage
(AP) - Tracy Morgan made a
triumphant return to the Emmy
Awards on Sunday, telling TV’s
biggest stars and power players
that he had missed them after
spending months recovering from
a traumatic brain injury.
Morgan’s presentation of the
night’s final award was one of the
ceremony’s biggest moments and
the culmination of months of re-
habilitation and work by the co-
median.
“Thank you so much,” Morgan
told the crowd boisterously cheer-
ing his return. “I miss you guys so Tracy Morgan

much.”
He referenced words from
Jimmy Kimmel, who told last
year’s audience that Morgan
would return.
Morgan said, “Well, Jimmy,
thanks to my amazing doctors,
the support of my family and
my beautiful new wife, I’m here.
Standing on my own two feet.”
Morgan was seriously in-
jured on June 7, 2014, when a
Wal-Mart truck crashed into the
limousine Morgan was riding in.
The collision killed one of Mor-
gan’s close friends.
