Fan-tastic: Tracy Morgan was happy to pose with fans as he arrived for SNL rehearsals in New York Thursday
Tracy, 46, was looking in good shape as he sauntered into the studio in a black pullover, head bandana, keans and leather shoes. He added an extra dash of class to his look with a chunky gold chain.
He used his injuries to get laughs during his SNL appearance promo video, saying, 'Did I used to work here? I can't remember anymore,' before later finally using his catchphrase, 'I'm going to get everyone in this building pregnant.'
The father-of-four has been on a lengthy journey to recovery after a truck crashed into the back of his limo in June 2014.
The car accident, which occurred in New Jersey, left the star with a traumatic brain injury that affected his ability to walk and speak.
