Country singer Morgan Wallen became a hot topic online after abruptly walking off the “Saturday Night Live” stage during a recent episode where he served as the musical guest. However, according to “SNL” cast members Bowen Yang and Kenan Thompson, the viral exit was not a major discussion the next day on set. Yang mentioned that everyone just moved on to the next thing, while Thompson joked that he was not familiar with Wallen’s exit when asked about it.
Thompson emphasized the need to move past the moment and give more recognition to host Mikey Madison. He also shared his thoughts on Wallen’s departure in a recent interview. The sketch comedy series “SNL” even poked fun at Wallen’s quick exit during a recent episode’s “Weekend Update” segment.
Wallen’s appearance on “SNL” followed a previous controversy in October 2020 when he was pulled from the show’s lineup after videos surfaced of him partying without a mask during the COVID-19 pandemic. He was later rebooked and appeared as the musical guest in December.
Overall, the “SNL” cast members downplayed Wallen’s exit and focused on moving forward with their work. The moment sparked online reactions and was even referenced on the show itself, but ultimately, it was seen as a spike in the norm and not a major issue among the cast.
