Kenan Thompson, a long-time cast member of “Saturday Night Live,” has shared his thoughts on Morgan Wallen’s abrupt exit after his performance on the show. Wallen, who was the musical guest on the March 29 episode hosted by Mikey Madison, left the stage without interacting with the cast, which drew strong reactions from viewers, including Thompson.
Thompson expressed his confusion over Wallen’s actions, saying that he didn’t understand why he left so suddenly. He noted that while other guests usually stick around to say goodbye and interact with the cast, Wallen’s departure was unexpected.
The comedian also pointed out that Wallen isn’t the only guest to have left abruptly, citing Prince as another example. However, Thompson emphasized that Wallen’s exit was particularly noticeable given the small group of people on stage at the time.
In addition to his abrupt exit, Wallen’s post on Instagram with the caption “Get me to God’s country” raised eyebrows, with Thompson calling it “strange” and questioning its meaning.
While Wallen has yet to address the reaction to his “SNL” exit, Thompson remains focused on the upcoming show with Jack Black and is confident that the team will be fine. Wallen has a history of controversy, including being cut as a musical guest in October 2020 for breaking COVID-19 protocols, but was able to rebook his spot for a later show.
Overall, Thompson’s comments shed light on the confusion and surprise surrounding Wallen’s actions and highlight the impact it had on the “SNL” cast and crew.
