Morgan Wallen surprised some viewers when he departed a few moments early during his second appearance on "Saturday Night Live."
The March 29 episode, hosted by newly minted Oscar winner Mikey Madison, marked Wallen's return to the Studio 8H stage more than four years after he was disinvited from his first episode for breaking COVID safety protocols.
Wallen stood next to Madison for the tradition episode goodbyes, where the host typically thanks the musical act and any special guests who appeared on the episode before wishing everyone a goodnight.
