Monday's comeback took place just weeks after he attended the Emmys for his first major public appearance since his horrific accident on a New Jersey highway in June 2014.
At the Emmys, the 46-year-old funnyman surprised the audience when he showed up on stage to present the award for Outstanding Drama Series and addressed his recovery progress with a speech that was both heartfelt and humorous.
"Only recently I've started to feel like myself again, which means a whole lotta young women gonna get pregnant at the after party," Morgan joked after being welcomed with a standing ovation.
On June 7, 2014, a Walmart tractor-trailer slammed into the tour bus that the comedian was riding in on the New Jersey Turnpike. The deadly collision left Morgan in a coma and killed his friend and fellow passenger, James McNair.
