Tracy Morgan 'moved' by SNL tribute but too emotional to watch it: lawyer
Children of comedian killed in crash that injured Morgan haved settled with Wal-Mart for $10M
Actor-comedian Tracy Morgan still hasn't watched the tribute performed for him on last month's Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary show after he was badly injured in a car accident.
An attorney for Morgan tells The Associated Press on Friday that the former SNL star isn't emotionally ready yet to watch the segment.
Morgan's 30 Rock co-stars Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin did a short piece sending him their support.

Attorney Benedict Morelli says Morgan was "incredibly moved" by the gesture but hasn't watched the segment.
A limo van carrying Morgan and several friends last June was rear-ended by a Wal-Mart truck on the New Jersey Turnpike. Fellow comedian James McNair was killed. Morgan suffered a traumatic brain injury, broken ribs and a broken leg.
"Tracy is working very hard to get better, physically, emotionally and mentally," Morelli said Friday. "Because in all three areas he still has a struggle on his hands."
Court papers show that McNair's children — Jamel, 26, and Denita, 19 — have reached a $10-million settlement with Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart spokesman Randy Hargrove said the company could not discuss the terms, "but we are glad to have reached an agreement. ... We deeply regret the loss of Mr. McNair and we worked closely with his family to insure their wellbeing."
