Must-See Late Night Clip: Tracy Morgan Cared More About LL Cool J’s Call Than Obama’s

How does comedian Neal Brennan know that his friend Tracy Morgan is going to be OK after a horrific highway accident almost killed him two months ago? During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers Tuesday, Brennan recounted a phone call with Morgan in which he determined his priorities have remained intact.

“‘The outpouring of love was unbelievable,” Brennan said, quoting Morgan. “‘I mean the people that reached out to me: Busta Rhymes, LL Cool J, the president.'”

“And the fact that Tracy put LL Cool J and Busta Rhymes above the president lets me know that Tracy is back!” Brennan added.

The first video of Morgan since the crash emerged a few weeks ago and in it is seems in good spirits, thanking his fans for their support. The comedian recently announced he would be suing the Wal-Mart corporation whose truck driver slammed into Morgan’s tour van after allegedly being on the road for more than 24 hours straight.
