Kenan Thompson reacts to Morgan Wallen walking off ‘SNL’ stage: ‘Maybe he had to go potty’

abruptly walked off the “Saturday Night Live” stage over the weekend. While Wallen, 31, has not addressed the reason for his exit, Thompson is offering up his initial theory on why country music’s bad boy left the stage without acknowledging the “SNL” cast.“I don’t know what goes through people’s minds when they decide to do stuff like that.

I don’t know if he understood the assignment or not, or if he was really feeling a certain kind of way,” Thompson told Entertainment Weekly.The longest-running member of “SNL” revealed that he “definitely saw” Wallen’s abrupt departure.

The “Whiskey Glasses” singer was the musical guest of the sketch comedy show on Saturday alongside the episode’s host, Oscar winner Mikey Madison, 26.While he whispered in the “Anora” actress’ ear and gave her a hug as the credits were rolling, Wallen walked right off the stage without saying one word to any of the cast members behind him — a strange move for any “SNL” guest, especially one that has been on the show before.“You see somebody before you get a chance to say hi or say good job or anything like that, they just dipping,” Thompson recalled of Wallen’s depature. “I thought maybe he had to go to the potty or something.” NYP may earn revenue on click/purchase “It’s definitely a spike in the norm,” he added. “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?”While Thompson shared that he had “never met” Wallen before, the comedian said the country star “seems like a complicated individual, I guess.”The Grammy-nominated musician was also the musical guest on “SNL” in December 2020 — but that came.
