We ’re not certain what take place this weekend , but Morgan Wallen appeared to recognize how the SNL " goodnights " work back in December 2020 .
So here’sa really brief historyof NBC’sSaturday Night Liveand state music singerMorgan Wallen . During Season 46 , Wallen was determine to be the musical invitee alongside hostBill Burr , but that changed when a TikTok video of the country euphony creative person at a house political party minus a mask get circulating on social media , disregarding COVID care and regulations . In the TV , Wallen was seen doing shot in a crowded party where social distancing and masks were not in play and also watch kissing an unmasked adult female . Wallen would go on to justify for what went down , and SNL EPLorne Michaelswould call for Wallen back as the musical guest by and by that same season during the December 5 , 2020 , show hosted byJason Bateman .
Now , we ’re jumping to this weekend , with Wallen joining hostMikey Madison(Anora ) for SNL ’s return show from a two - week rift . Musically , Wallen bid potent operation of " I ’m the Problem " and " Just in Case " – and overall , everything seemed pretty normal . But things got eldritch during the goodnight just before and while the credits were roll . First , there was distance between Madison and Wallen and the rest of the cast . Then , you had Wallen say a few words to Madison – without ever turning his care to the SNL shed behind him . But the real headline - grabber was how Wallen exited – from the front of the stage and walking towards the camera . It was an funny way for something as simple as a " goodnight " to go down , vibing as if Wallen either suddenly got lost or was looking to get forth from SNL sooner rather than later .
Thank you , Mikey Madison and@MorganWallen ! Goodnight!pic.twitter.com / FDlInhhHqb

Did Wallen have government issue with the SNL cast and writers ? Were there some other issues at play?TMZ – and other sites – reportedthat folks close to Wallen said it was all much ado about nothing . Not serve their debate was Wallen ’s Instagram Stories post soon after he exited level right : " Get me to God ’s rural area , " along with an image of a individual jet .
So we decided to jump on Peacock and take a look back at December 2020 to see if Wallen ’s behavior during the goodnight and end deferred payment was standardized to what go down last Nox . It was n’t . After friendly greeting between Wallen and Bateman , you see Wallen turn his attention to the SNL plaster bandage – and the SNL cast reciprocates . In fact , it ’s your typically nice close that we usually get , with Wallen stick around around on the stagecoach as the net cut to whatever local affiliates were running at 1 pm ET . To be cleared , there was no augury indicating that Wallen exited by walking down off the front of the stage .
