Kenan Thompson calls Morgan Wallen's SNL early exit 'spike in the norm': 'It just felt so abrupt'

Kenan Thompson says Morgan Wallen's early exit during 'SNL' goodnights 'felt so abrupt.' 'I thought maybe he had to go to the potty,' he tells EW of seeing the musical guest rush off stage without saying goodbye to the cast.

I don't know if he understood the assignment or not, or if he was really feeling a certain kind of way," Thompson tells Entertainment Weekly while speaking about his new GERD Is No Joke campaign with Phathom Pharmaceuticals to raise awareness about the condition and treatment options such as Voquezna. "Seems like a complicated individual, I guess," Thompson reflects, noting that it's not the first time a musical guest has suddenly left. Later that night, the musician posted a photo of a private jet with the caption "Get me to God's country" on his Instagram Stories, which Thompson admits he didn't appreciate.
