Kenan Thompson, the longest-running cast member of “Saturday Night Live,” shared his thoughts on Morgan Wallen’s abrupt exit after performing on the show. Wallen, the musical guest on the March 29 episode, left the stage without interacting with the cast or saying goodbye at the end of the show. Thompson expressed confusion over Wallen’s actions and speculated on what may have been going through his mind. He compared Wallen’s behavior to that of Prince, who also left abruptly in the past.
Thompson mentioned that Wallen’s actions were noticeable and unexpected, especially given the usual friendly interactions between guests and cast members. He also questioned Wallen’s Instagram post, referencing “God’s country,” calling it strange and questioning its meaning. Despite the controversy surrounding Wallen, Thompson stated that the show will move on and continue with upcoming guests.
Wallen has not addressed the response to his exit from “SNL,” but this is not his first brush with controversy on the show. In October 2020, Wallen was removed as the musical guest for breaking Covid-19 protocols, but he was later rebooked for a December show. Despite the issues, Wallen was able to appear on the show and even joked about the incident in a sketch. Thompson did not shy away from expressing his confusion and surprise over Wallen’s actions, but he also emphasized that the show will continue with future guests.
