Morgan's career reached new heights when he became a cast member of "Saturday Night Live" in 1996. His stint on the iconic show spanned eight seasons over seven years, contributing significantly to his earnings (he earned thousands per episode, per Forbes). His work on "30 Rock" created by his "SNL" co-star Tina Fey also added to his earnings. For the first season of "30 Rock," Morgan made over $1.5 million—an amount which grew to $2.2 million by 2012’s sixth season.

Additionally, he has invested in real estate, buying and selling properties, including a mansion in Alpine.
