If you recollect the way Morgan Wallen expire SNL was kinda weird , you ’re not alone . And Wallen ’s be - up post on social metier did n’t help …
It ’s not like NBC’sSaturday Night Liveand country euphony singerMorgan Wallendon’t already have a past , so many a abbreviated history lesson is in order . During Season 46 , Wallen was limit to be the musical node alongside hostBill Burrfor the October 10 , 2020 , show . That changed in a very big means . Only days before Wallen was supposed to take the Studio 8H stage , it was announce that Wallen would n’t be appearing . The news total after a TikTok video of the country medicine artist at a house party minus a mask commence circulating on social medium , disregarding COVID precautions and regulation . In the television , Wallen is seen doing shots in a crowded party where social distancing and masks were not in manoeuvre and also fancy kissing an unmasked woman .
Wallen was contacted by the show and inform that he was being bring down from the show " because of COVID protocols , " but he say in his Instagram post thatSNLcreatorLorne Michaelstold him his appearance would be reschedule for another time . " It ’s a problematical video for me to make but a necessary one , " Wallen posted . " My actions this retiring weekend were myopic , and they have obviously impact my longterm finish and my dream . I respect the show ’s decision because I know that I put them in risk , and I take ownership for this . I ’d like to apologize to SNL , to my fans , to my team for bringing me these opportunities , and I let them down … I opine I have mature up to do . " honest to his word , Michaels would invite Wallen back as the musical Edgar Guest later that same time of year , during the December 5th show hosted byJason Bateman .
Okay , everybody up to speed ? Cool . That bestow us to this weekend ’s SNL , with Wallen returning as melodious guest alongside hostMikey Madison(Anora ) . Musically , Wallen offer hard public presentation of " I ’m the Problem " and " Just in Case " – and overall , everything seemed pretty normal . But then we got to the wrapper - up at the end of the show , when the server , melodious guest , SNL cast , and guest ace ordinarily add up out for some final wrangle , a few bowknot , and a mess of love while the credits hustle . But last night ’s felt … different . Here ’s a look at what go down :
Thank you , Mikey Madison and@MorganWallen ! Goodnight!pic.twitter.com / FDlInhhHqb

The entire matter vibed weird – and we ’re talking in - the - consequence eldritch and not Monday - morning - quarterbacking weird . There was that distance between Madison and Wallen and the residuum of the cast . Then , you had Wallen say a few words to Madison – without ever turning his attention to the SNL purge behind him . But the icing of the really f***ing weird cake was how Wallen exited – from the front of the leg and walking towards the tv camera . It was an odd direction for something as unproblematic as a " goodnight " to go down , vibing as if Wallen either of a sudden got lose or was looking to get away from SNL sooner rather than afterward .
Did Wallen have issuance with the SNL roll and author ? If the country singer is a Trump supporter , maybe he did n’t like the cold clear or what " Weekend Update " had to offer because they went after Trump and his lackey hard . Were there some other issues at play ? It will be interesting to see what fare out over the next 24 - 48 hours . TMZ is reportingfrom folks close to Wallen that it ’s all much ado about nothing – but anything from TMZ that does n’t regard a celebrity arrest and/or death father a gross ton of question marker from us . Not helping the literary argument was Wallen ’s Instagram Stories C. W. Post shortly after he exited stage in good order : " Get me to God ’s body politic , " along with an persona of a private special K . So now , we not only need to make love if Wallen had issues with SNL but also which parts of the U.S. he consider to be " god ’s nation . "
