NEW YORK — US actor and comedian Tracy Morgan will host “Saturday Night Live” in October, NBC said Monday, his first major TV performance after suffering serious injuries in a highway pile-up. Morgan was treated for broken ribs, a broken nose and a broken leg after the six-car accident in June 2014 in New Jersey involving a Walmart truck that rear-ended his stretch limousine. NBC said the Emmy-nominated actor will host the live skit comedy show “Saturday Night Live” on October 17, his second time hosting the program. Morgan was also an “SNL” cast member for several years, before joining “30 Rock,” starring and executive produced by “SNL” alum Tina Fey. Morgan said he was delighted to be returning to the show. “Stoked to be going home... #SNL,” he said. — AP
