AceShowbiz - Kenan Thompson, the longest-serving cast member on "Saturday Night Live", weighed in on Morgan Wallen's controversial exit during the closing credits. Just like many of fans, he was surprised when the singer hastily left the stage while the camera was still rolling.

"It's definitely a spike in the norm," observed Thompson in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "We're so used to everybody just turning around and high-fiving us, everybody's saying, 'Good job, good job, good job.' So when there's a departure from that, it's like, hmm, I wonder what that's about?"

Thompson added that he couldn't comprehend what might have been on Wallen's mind. "I don't know if he understood the assignment or not, or if he was really feeling a certain kind of way…"

"You see somebody before you get a chance to say hi or say good job or anything like that, they just dipping. I thought maybe he had to go to the potty or something," Thompson mused. "Seems like a complicated individual, I guess."

Wallen's bewildering exit has drawn comparisons to other abrupt departures by musical guests in the show's history. Thompson mentioned, "Prince did the same thing. I'm not saying Morgan Wallen is Prince, but we weren't surprised because Prince was notoriously kind of standoffish. It's just how he was. So we just thought like, 'OK, now he's gone back into fantasyland.' "

However, he acknowledged that the small stage grouping that Saturday made Wallen's exit more noticeable. "It was a pretty visible thing," Thompson commented.

Further adding to the perplexity, shortly after the show, Wallen took to Instagram, sharing an image of a private jet with the caption, "Get me to God's country." The reasoning behind his hurried exit remains unclear, leaving fans and the "SNL" crew puzzled.

The moment serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of live television and the unique personalities that grace the iconic Studio 8H stage.
