Kenan Thompson reflected Monday on “Saturday Night Live” musical guest Morgan Wallen’s surprisingly quick exit from Studio 8H, calling the viral moment “abrupt” and sharing that the country artist “seems like a complicated individual.”
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, the longest-tenured cast member of “SNL” shared that he did not meet Wallen while in production last week on the sketch comedy series, but admitted that he was surprised when he bolted offstage before the credits even rolled. Most hosts and artists stick around to cheers the cast and mingle on a job well done, but Wallen left in what many online perceived as a slight to the comedy show and its players.
