Exits During Credits
Published March 30, 2025 5:43 AM PDT
Morgan Wallen caught the attention of viewers after he unexpectedly left the stage during the closing credits of the latest “Saturday Night Live” episode, where he served as the musical guest.
A clip from the show shows Wallen briefly acknowledging host Mikey Madison with a one-armed hug before swiftly making his way to the exit, while the cast engaged in celebratory interactions on stage.
Typically, musical guests are expected to mingle with the host and other cast members during the end credits, leading to a flurry of viewer reactions suggesting that Wallen appeared eager to leave, with some feeling that the atmosphere seemed off during his departure.
In the aftermath of his exit, fans remarked on the confused expressions of cast members like Ego Nwodim and Kenan Thompson, with Kenan giving a quizzical glance to Ego as Wallen walked away.
Wallen’s social media activity post-show added to the speculation, as he shared an image of a private jet with the caption, “Get me to God’s country,” implying a sense of urgency to leave.
However, some fans may have read into the situation too deeply, as a source close to Wallen clarified that his abrupt exit was unintentional and not meant to signal any negative feelings. It was noted that his actions mirrored his movements during rehearsals earlier in the week, suggesting a habitual pathway that he mistakenly followed again during the live show.
This is not Wallen’s first encounter with controversy regarding “SNL.” Back in October 2020, he was disinvited as the musical guest after being spotted violating COVID-19 regulations while partying in Alabama. Despite those past missteps, Wallen returned to the show two months later, indicating resilience in his career.
As of now, TMZ has attempted to reach out for comments from representatives of ‘SNL,’ but there has been no response thus far.
