Tracy Morgan is stuck in a New Jersey hospital at the moment.
And - according to reports of multiple broken bones and a very long recovery process - he'll likely be there for awhile, as far away from a TV show set as possible.
But FX has come out and made it clear that when the actor is ready to work again, he'll have a home at the cable network.
"The only thing we are concerned with is the health and recovery of Tracy Morgan and the victims of this tragic accident," FX said today in a statement. "We will support Tracy and his family in every way possible throughout his recovery."
A few weeks prior to the accident on Saturday morning that left Morgan in critical condition and which took the life of comedian Jimmy McNair, the former 30 Rock star has signed on to star in a new FXX comedy.
It had been scheduled to start shooting in August.
Production will clearly need to be delayed for an unknown period of time now, however.
"At the point when Tracy has recovered and decides that he is ready to go back to work, his show will be waiting for him," the network added. "Right now our thoughts and prayers remain with Tracy, the other victims of the accident, and their families."
Truck driver Kevin Roper has been charged with multiple crimes after allegedly falling asleep at the wheel over the weekend and instigating a six-car pile-up.
But the Walmart employee wrote on Twitter last night that he did nothing wrong and is being used as a scapegoat by authorities who feel a need to punish someone because a celebrity was involved in the carnage.
"I was never charged at the scene of the accident because once again i was not guilty of any crime. Not until all the TV cameras came," Roper wrote online.
We'll let the authorities sort through that mess and we'll just take this time to wish Morgan and all others injured a full recovery.
"You're even dumber than I look!"
