Tracy Morgan Performs Two Stand-Up Gigs In Manhattan

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Tracy Morgan marked another milestone Monday night.

The 46-year-old comedian made his triumphant return to the stage for the first time since suffering serious injuries last year in a crash on the New Jersey Turnpike.

He performed two stand-up shows in Manhattan at the Stand and the Comedy Cellar, ahead of hosting "Saturday Night Live" this weekend.

In June 2014, Morgan and others were returning from a show in Delaware when a Walmart tractor-trailer slammed into the back of their limo van.

Comedian James "Jimmy Mack" McNair was killed.

Morgan suffered head trauma, a broken leg and broken ribs.
