Morgan Wallen was supposed to be performing on Saturday Night Live this week, but today they pulled the offer. The Country singer was seen partying over the weekend without a mask and kissing strangers on TikTok. That is something you can’t do during the coronavirus pandemic; and then expect to work on a set.
Wellan, from his hotel room in NYC, recorded a message of apology for his fans. “I respect the show’s decision because I know I put them in jeopardy, and I take ownership for this. I’d like to apologize to SNL, to my fans, to my team for bringing me these opportunities, and I let them down,” he said.
The musician realizes he screwed up big time. “I think I have some growing up to do. I think I lost myself a little bit. I tried to find joy in the wrong places and, I don’t know, it’s left me with less joy, so I’m going to try to work on that. I’m going to take a step back from the spotlight for a little while and go work on myself.” Then he added, “I wish I could have made country music and my fans proud this Saturday, but I respect the decision once again.”
As of today, he has not tested positive for COVID-19, but the damage has been done.
Can you imagine if DC was this tough on people who didn’t wear masks? Then maybe the president and his lackeys would not have coronavirus. Not only that, maybe we would not have cases spiraling out of control all over the country. Strange concept.
When it comes to his replacement, Variety says, as of now, they do not have one. Hopefully, they will go with Bon Jovi, who just released an album and live close to the city.
On Saturday, Saturday Night Live will be back with new episodes, and there is a new person playing Joe Biden. That person, as we know, is Jim Carrey. Now, we are getting our first look at him as the Presidential candidate. I am blown away by how much he looks like him. Not only can Carrey mimic a person’s voice, but he can also mimic their faces. He is one of the greatest talents of our lifetime.
Saturday Night Live will be back with new episodes starting on October 3rd, and will go live every Saturday night throughout the month.
We know they have their Donald Trump in Alec Baldwin, Kamala Harris in Maya Rudolph, Kate McKinnon as everyone else but Joe Biden. Today, we found out who be impersonating the Presidential nominee, and it is Jim Carrey.
Did you have Jim Carrey as your choice? Does he have your vote? I have been racking my brain on that one for a few weeks, and Michaels got it right again.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Carrey hosts the season premiere from 30 Rock. Talking about them going back into Studio 8H at Rockefeller Center for the first time in six months, we found out that they will have a limited audience in the studio with them. If you thought getting tickets was hard before the coronavirus pandemic, it will be nearly impossible now on.
SNL also announced that they have added three new not ready for primetime players joining the show. To read their bios, then click here!
Back in the spring when production was halted because of the coronavirus pandemic, NBC came up with an interesting way to produce Saturday Night Live. The actors went live from their homes instead of from their studio at Rockefeller Center.
Now that two of the alumni, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, have been going live-to-tape from 30 Rock again, NBC is letting them go home for their 46th season.
We do not know who will be hosting the show’s season premiere on October 3rd, but I hope they get Steve Martin to do it. If he doesn’t do it, then Alec Baldwin could beat him out for the host who has hosted the mostest. Is mostest a word?
Anyways, it will be interesting to see how they do it with all of the regulations that the unions have put on Hollywood because of COVID-19. Everyone else who has gone live has been seated and 6′ apart. How do you do that when you have to play off someone?
I betcha there are two members of the current cast who are happy they won’t be on top of each other. They are Weekend Update’s Colin Jost and Michael Che. They will need bullhorns to do the news.
Now that Pete Davidson is a movie star, is he ready to leave the show that made him a star? Especially after he dissed his co-workers at Saturday Night Live in an interview.
He spoke to Entertainment Tonight, and told them, “I think I’m very lucky to be on that show. And I’m really lucky to have Lorne Michaels as, you know, not only a mentor and a boss but a friend. I’ll be there as long as they allow it.”
Who else was hoping that both parties were ready to move on because he adds nothing to the sketches?
