SNL cancels singer's debut appearance due to his mask stupidity

[Tanuki]

I will say that his apologetic video statement at the link sounds sincere, so maybe he has in fact learned something important from this self-inflicted career damage.

"Three days before he was set to make his "Saturday Night Live" debut, country singer Morgan Wallen has been told he will not perform on the show — after social media captured him partying with strangers without a mask last weekend.

Wallen made the announcement Wednesday from his hotel room in New York City, having already traveled to appear on the show. He said he spoke to show creator Lorne Michaels earlier in the day, and was informed he would be removed from Saturday's show.

"I'm not positive for COVID," he said. "But my actions this past weekend were pretty short sighted, and they've obviously affected my long term goals and my dreams.

I respect the show's decision, because I know that I put them in jeopardy."...(more)

1. Sometimes it's necessary for the clue bird to shit on a person's head abundantly.

2. I'd never heard of him.

His Billy Ray Cyrus mullet really made me wonder about his judgement lol.

The videos are gross.

Pandering type stuff

7. What is it with SNL and trying to appeal to the right wing?

Every time they attempt to, it winds up coming back to bite them in the ass. Much like last year when they tried to an actor to appeal to MAGAs, and the guy they got turned out to be the most rootin' tootin' racist white Trump supporter you could imagine.

11. Our boy Morgan here got arrested drunk outside of Kid Rock's bar - in May 2020

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_Wallen

In May 2020, Wallen was arrested outside Kid Rock's bar in downtown Nashville for public intoxication and disorderly conduct.[18][19] Wallen apologized stating he and his friends "didn't mean any harm".[20]

13. Wow, no surprise he's a maskhole.

SNL really needs to screen their musical guests better.

[cwydro]

21. I remember that.

But to be fair, there are country music fans who are good Dems. My 67 year old female. life-long friend is one.

20. Yes, love it

I love this song by Bo Burnham. He's one of my favorite comedians.

3. Never heard of Morgan Wallen

I'm sure they can get someone better to replace him.

[StarryNite]

10. Me either.

And we may never hear of him again.

[dweller]

5. the 27 yr old

said ' i guess i've got some growing up to do '


dude, you are 27 yrs old ...

✌🏼

[Yeehah]

18. That's the problem with a lot of these redneck a-holes

They never grow intellectually beyond high school.

[targetpractice]

6. That's a pretty good apology though...

I have no idea who he is, but I gotta hand that to him... No "if I hurt anybody" lamentations... He owned up to his mistake pretty sincerely, and acknowledged how he hurt his team, SNL, fans, and himself.

8. Never heard of him before/

[panader0]

16. That was my dad's biggest putdown. "Never heard of him."

At the end, with dementia, he had never heard of anyone.

[Skittles]

9. idiot but good response from him

sounds like he has taken responsibility

[mercuryblues]

12. You mean to tell me that the guy who got arrested

for public intoxication in May of this year, when Covid19 was making it's rounds, got booted off SNL for playing footloose in a NYC bar? So surprised.

Country artist Morgan Wallen arrested after incident at Kid Rock’s Honky Tonk

https://www.wkrn.com/news/crime-tracker/country-artist-morgan-wallen-arrested-after-incident-at-kid-rocks-honky-tonk/

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Country artist Morgan Wallen was arrested on charges of public intoxication and disorderly conduct after an incident Saturday night at Kid Rock’s Honky Tonk on Lower Broadway.

According to an arrest affidavit, officers observed security guards for the establishment remove the 27-year-old around 11 p.m. due to him being disorderly by kicking glass items inside. Officers said they gave Wallen several opportunities to walk away with his friends, but he refused.


Police reported Wallen had a strong odor of alcohol and appeared to be a danger to himself and others. Officers said he got into multiple verbal altercations with people passing by and was arrested due to being intoxicated in public, unable to take care of himself and the reasonable likelihood the offense would continue.
