in June Morgan gave his first interview to Matt Lauer on Today, and expressed surprise at having survived the crash.

"I can't believe I'm here; I can't believe I'm in front of you," Morgan said. The actor also spoke about the case with Walmart having finally been settled but how that doesn't take away from the psychological scars from the accident, and the loss of his friend 62-year-old James McNair.

"The case is settled, but the pain is always going be there," Morgan said. "Bones heal, but the loss of my friend will never heal." Morgan explained that Wal-Mart took "full responsibility" for the accident, settling with both himself and McNair's family. "I'm just glad my friend can rest in peace now," he said.
