His appearance obviously earned a standing ovation from the audience. Morgan has largely stayed out of the spotlight since the 2014 car accident that put him in a coma for eight days and killed a fellow comedian. (Courtesy Fox / Television Academy)
He even brought some humor to the otherwise very serious situation: "When I finally regained consciousness, I was ecstatic to learn I wasn't the one who messed up." (Courtesy Fox / Television Academy)

To recap, Morgan and his friend were involved in an accident with a Walmart truck last year. The truck's driver was sleep-deprived and driving 20 miles per hour over the speed limit. Because of that, the National Transportation Safety Board placed blame solely on the driver.
Morgan's next appearance will be when he hosts the Oct. 17 episode of "Saturday Night Live."
