Thank you. I appreciate everything.” The _30 Rock_ star has been released from rehabilitation and will continue his recovery efforts at home, his representative told _Entertainment Tonight._ “He asked me to pass along his sincerest gratitude to everyone who has helped him get to this point,” the rep said. “He would also appreciate some privacy during this crucial point in his recovery.” Morgan has launched a lawsuit against Walmart for negligence leading to the accident, which took place when one of the store’s trucks slammed into the limousine the comedian was riding in. The Walmart driver had allegedly fallen asleep at the wheel. Plaintiffs also include comedian Ardie Fuqua, Morgan’s assistant Jeffrey Millea and Millea’s wife Krista Millea. \[[_Entertainment Tonight_](http://www.etonline.com/news/148366%5Fsee%5Ftracy%5Fmorgan%5Fflash%5Fgiant%5Fsmile%5Fpost%5Faccident/ "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2984002/tracy-morgan-flashes-a-smile-and-a-peace-sign-and-offers-thanks-for-support/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2984002/tracy-morgan-flashes-a-smile-and-a-peace-sign-and-offers-thanks-for-support/"},"headline":"Tracy Morgan Flashes a Smile and a Peace Sign, and Offers Thanks for Support","datePublished":"2014-07-15T09:25:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T09:08:48.951Z","description":"The comedian appears in good spirits after leaving hospital","url":"https://time.com/2984002/tracy-morgan-flashes-a-smile-and-a-peace-sign-and-offers-thanks-for-support/","keywords":["celebrities","Accident","Tracy Morgan"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7ce50ca0f55e8dcd/69869bc255a85929e3a81cbb/tracy_morgan.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Per Liljas","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/per-liljas/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7ce50ca0f55e8dcd/69869bc255a85929e3a81cbb/tracy_morgan.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Tracy Morgan, who recently returned home after a five-week stay at a hospital followed by rehab, was seen returning to his Cresskill, N.J., home on July 14, 2014.","caption":"Tracy Morgan, who recently returned home after a five-week stay at a hospital followed by rehab, was seen returning to his Cresskill, N.J., home on July 14, 2014.","creditText":"Richard Harbus—Polaris","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2984002/tracy-morgan-flashes-a-smile-and-a-peace-sign-and-offers-thanks-for-support/","name":"Tracy Morgan Flashes a Smile and a Peace Sign, and Offers Thanks for Support"}}]}] ```
