Kenan Thompson has commented on Morgan Wallen‘s abrupt Saturday Night Live (SNL) exit.Last Saturday (March 29), country singer Wallen appeared as the show’s musical guest, and made headlines when he cut his goodbyes short – only saying farewell to the guest host, Oscar-winning actress Mikey Madison.

Typically, the SNL cast celebrate with the guest musician and host during the credits roll.Shortly after his exit, Wallen – who is based in Nashville, Tennessee – posted an Instagram Story of a picture of his private jet and a caption that read “Get me to God’s country”.Now, longtime cast member Kenan Thompson has commented on Wallen’s sudden exit in a comment to Entertainment Weekly. “I don’t know what goes through people’s minds when they decide to do stuff like that,” he told them. “I don’t know if he understood the assignment or not, or if he was really feeling a certain kind of way”.

He joked that he “thought maybe he had to go to the potty or something.”Thompson confirmed he “definitely saw” Wallen suddenly leave, adding: “It’s definitely a spike in the norm.

We’re so used to everybody just turning around and high-fiving us, everybody’s saying, ‘Good job, good job, good job.’ So when there’s a departure from that, it’s like, hmm, I wonder what that’s about?”Wallen has appeared in two episodes: last Saturday, and his first musical guest performance in 2020 (which occurred following Wallen breaking COVID-19 protocols, leading to his original debut appearance to be cancelled).
