Morelli said Morgan tells him he has a new lease on life.
A Wal-Mart truck slammed into the back of a limo van carrying Morgan and the others in June. Comedian James "Jimmy Mack" McNair was killed. Morgan suffered head trauma, a broken leg and broken ribs and still is recovering.
Wal-Mart called the settlement amicable.
Morgan is scheduled to appear live on the program Monday.
