Tracy Morgan’s name was shuttled around headlines last summer for all the wrong reasons. The comedian and actor was involved in a brutal car crash that killed close friend James McNair and, from all accounts, Morgan was lucky to be alive.

Grueling rehab and dozens of physical therapy sessions have filled his schedule over the last year as he continues with the recovery process. Morgan has not made any public appearances since the accident, with Monday’s visit to the Today Show being his interview since last June.
