How 'SNL' addressed Morgan Wallen’s controversial walk offstage

It has been one week since Morgan Wallen broke tradition and abruptly left the “Saturday Night Live” stage during the show’s sign off, and the late-night sketch comedy show had some thoughts.

It has been one week since Morgan Wallen broke tradition and abruptly left the “Saturday Night Live” stage during the show’s sign off, and the late-night sketch comedy show had some thoughts.

Jack Black returned to Studio 8H to host “SNL” for the fourth time on Saturday, alongside musical guests Elton John and Brandi Carlile. 

The week prior, Mikey Madison made her hosting debut fresh off her win at the Oscars, while Wallen returned as musical guest for the second time. In a puzzling moment at the end of the show, Wallen left the “SNL” stage early, rather than mingling with Madison and the rest of the cast.

His exit became the punchline of a joke told during the “Weekend Update” segment by co-anchor Colin Jost, while he talked about the economy and the recent stock market plunges.

“Just in the past two days, investors have lost over $6 trillion,” Jost said. “Money is leaving the stock market faster than Morgan Wallen at goodnights.”
