Morgan credited his then 10-month-old daughter, Maven, for helping him fight to come out of the coma.
“She’s very close to me. We’re very close. She’s my baby,” the former “30 Rock” star said.
Maven was just a newborn when Morgan nearly died in the 2014 truck crash that took the life of his friend, fellow comic James McNair.

The crash occurred when the driver of a Walmart tractor trailer failed to respond to the slower speeds of surrounding vehicles and had to veer into Morgan’s limo to avoid colliding with other motorists.
Morgan’s limousine bus was hit from the rear and went careening into other cars. The limousine eventually stopped moving after tipping over onto its side.
The actor is best known for his television work as a cast member on Saturday Night Live and for his role as Tracy Jordan in the sitcom 30 Rock, each of which earned him a Primetime Emmy Award nomination.
He currently stars as Tray Barker in the TBS comedy The Last O.G.
