“Saturday Night Live” (SNL) writer Colin Jost poked fun at Morgan Wallen’s sudden exit from the show after just one performance on Saturday night, using a hilarious donut meme to do so.
As previously reported by Billboard, Wallen abruptly left the SNL stage during his musical guest spot, sparking concerns about his well-being and leaving fans stunned. The country music star has since taken to social media to clarify that he was simply overwhelmed by the intense atmosphere of the live broadcast and needed some fresh air.
However, Jost, who co-anchors the show’s “Weekend Update” segment with Michael Che, decided to have a bit of fun at Wallen’s expense. During Saturday night’s episode, Jost tweeted a screenshot of a donut with a caption that read: “When you get kicked out of SNL.”
The tweet quickly went viral, with many fans poking fun at Wallen and his sudden exit. While some critics accused Jost of being insensitive or mean-spirited, others praised the writer for finding humor in an otherwise awkward situation.
In any case, it’s clear that Jost’s meme has dominated the conversation surrounding SNL on social media, further fueling speculation about Wallen’s decision to leave the show early.
