Morgan returns to SNL, where he performs the opening monologue.

I was in a terrible car crash a year ago. It was awful, but it also showed me how much love and support I have in this world…People are wondering: can he speak? Does he have 100% mental capacity? But the truth is I never had 100%. In might actually be a few points higher now.

He is joined by his 30 Rock co-stars. Fey:

We’re so happy that you’re OK, but we’re even happier that you’re ready to make people laugh again.
