Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan is showing signs of improvement following a highway crash that badly injured him and killed one of his friends, his spokesman said Thursday.

Morgan, a former star of “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock,” remained hospitalized in critical but stable condition on Thursday but his medical team is “optimistic that his recovery is progressing,” spokesman Lewis Kay said.

“Today was a better day,” Kay said.

Morgan’s fiancee remained by his side and was relaying to him everyone’s prayers and good wishes, Kay said.
