SNL

Morgan Wallen's abrupt "Saturday Night Live" walk-off might not have been a comedy hit ... but one of the show’s writers is making sure the last laugh's on him!

ICYMI, Morgan abruptly ditched the 'SNL' stage Saturday night as the show ended, and posted an IG Story of a private jet with the caption, "Get me to God's country." Writer Josh Patten wasn’t letting that slide without a bit of trolling -- he posted the same caption, but over a Krispy Kreme truck pic, making it clear that for him, that's the holy land worth fleeing to!

Wallen didn’t spell out the reason for his dash off stage, but seems pretty clear that NYC isn’t his vibe. Seems like he prefers the simple, Southern, church-going life back in Nashville!

Morgan Wallen raised eyebrows after he abruptly walked off the stage at the end of last night's "Saturday Night Live" episode, in which he appeared as the musical guest.

Check out the clip ... he seems to exchange niceties with host Mikey Madison before giving her a one-armed hug and making a beeline for the exit as the rest of the cast celebrates the completion of another episode.

Remember, it's customary for the musical guest to interact with the guest host and cast during the ending credits. Viewers immediately reacted to his unusual exit, with many agreeing he looked ready to leave and that the vibe was off.

Pete Davidson had quite the reaction when asked about his brief relationship with Kim Kardashian -- and it's one that will likely rub KK the wrong way.

Pete joined fellow comedian Luenell and host John Mulaney on Thursday's episode of "Everybody's Live with John Mulaney" when the topic of Davidson's many lovers surfaced during their discussion. Luenell drilled down a bit on Pete's past babes and his current girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt.

Check out the video ... Luenell says, "I want to know the mystique. Now you've had Kim K."

Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt kicked off their sizzling romance in sunny Florida, but now they’re over in the Big Apple, proving this new couple is all in no matter the temp.

The lovebirds were braving the Brooklyn chill Saturday morning ... bundled up in thick hoodies, shades, and seamlessly weaving through the streets like seasoned New Yorkers.

They were loaded up with bags, making it look like they had touched down in NYC not long before.

Pete Davidson and his newly revealed girlfriend are not wasting any time packing on the PDA ... because we just got hot shots of them together getting super-steamy on the beach.

Pete and Elsie Hewitt were photographed getting hot and heavy in Palm Beach, Florida just one day after it was revealed they're officially seeing each other. The "Saturday Night Live" alum was trying hard to keep his new relationship under wraps ... but that didn't last long.

Pete has a track record of dating Hollywood hotties ... and his newest squeeze is no different. Elsie, a well-known model, has been linked to Benny Blanco and Jason Sudeikis in the past.

Farrah Abraham is just one day away from making her big career switch to comedy ... and she's been getting tips from some seasoned pros in the game!

We caught up with Farrah in between rehearsals for her big stand-up debut at the Spearmint Rhino New York -- which, BTW, includes a lap dance for VIP ticketholders -- and she revealed a major 'SNL' comedian is swinging by to show some love.

Catch the clip -- 'cause while she’s keeping the 'SNL' name under wraps, she’s spilling on the other big industry insiders showing up … including a costar from her "Teen Mom" roots.

Pete Davidson and Colin Jost were never in a feud ... but Pete definitely regrets how he behaved in the past before he went to rehab and got clean -- so he bought CJ a very fancy gift to apologize.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... reports, including the initial one from The U.S. Sun, claiming Pete and Colin had become enemies, were way overblown -- and that was not the reason PD gifted Jost a $20,000 Cartier watch.

The real reason for the swanky timepiece is Pete wanted to offer a mea culpa -- or as Pete would likely say, "My bad, dawg" -- for his behavior prior to checking into rehab.

Shane Gillis had some familiar faces in the crowd for "Saturday Night Live" this weekend ... as San Francisco 49ers stars Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk were present for his hosting gig.

Kittle posted the trio's NYC adventure to his Instagram page on Sunday night ... sharing some behind-the-scenes flicks from Studio 8H -- including a selfie with Mike Myers, who played Elon Musk in the episode.

The group also posed together for a picture on the iconic stage ... and despite Shane rocking a Philadelphia Eagles hat -- who beat the 49ers in the 2023 NFC Championship game -- the guys were all smiles.

"Saturday Night Live" wasted no time tackling the explosive Oval Office shouting match between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ... and Mike Myers made a surprise cameo.

The show's cold open spoofed last week's infamous Oval Office meeting between Trump, Zelensky and J.D. Vance when they were discussing a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine when things got heated.

The bit began with Mikey Day, who played Zelensky and James Austin Johnson as Trump. The fake Trump introduces himself as "President and CEO of Gaza Hotel and Casino." He says ... "I’d like to welcome President Zelensky to this incredible trap."

Steve Martin and Martin Short have been forced to cancel their next two comedy tour dates ... because Martin caught the 'vid.

Steve announced Thursday evening his pal caught COVID-19 from the "Saturday Night Live" 50th Anniversary special that aired Sunday ... insinuating he got sick thanks to Maya Rudolph by sharing a photo of the pair kissing backstage at the event.

He joked ... "Maya had Covid. Marty has Covid. I wonder why? The SNL 50th Covid curse is real."

Tracy Morgan flattered Jeanie Buss while possibly exposing his lack of NBA knowledge at the same time ... with Jay Mohr saying the comedy legend asked his wife if she was a Laker Girl!!

The former "Saturday Night Live" cast member revealed the hilarious interaction in a preview of an upcoming "Mohr Stories" episode ... saying it went down at the sketch show's 50th anniversary event last week.

Mohr explained one of his goals for the weekend was to get his wife and longtime friend to get a pic together ... and he made it happen -- but not before the memorable encounter.

Tom Hanks has found himself in hot water after poking fun at Trump supporters on 'SNL' this past weekend – and now, one of the show's own alums is jumping in to slam him.

Victoria Jackson, a staunch Trump supporter, is making her anger known to TMZ, pointing us to a post by political commentator Link Lauren, who calls out the "MAGA = racist" trope as "downright disgusting" -- a sentiment VJ says summarizes her feelings.

Victoria -- who was a cast member from '86 to '92 -- calls the whole thing "stupid," adding she was also offended by the sexual vulgarity on the show.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were the hot topic of conversation among guests at 'Saturday Night Live's 50th-anniversary show and after-party — and it all had to do with the couple's ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni ... TMZ has learned.

Three sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... lots of stars who attended the 'SNL' events on Sunday night were "confused" as to why Blake and Ryan appeared at the show while they battle it out in court with Baldoni over drama surrounding the movie, "It Ends With Us."

As you know, the two sides have accused each other of waging smear campaigns, and Blake has also claimed Justin sexually harassed her while on the movie set.

'Saturday Night Live's 50th Anniversary after-party at the Plaza Hotel in NYC was a huge extravaganza, with some of the biggest celebs on the planet showing up -- including Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga and Dave Chappelle.

TMZ obtained photos and videos of all the fun, laughter and performances by dozens of celebrities who packed into the ballroom and other parts of the legendary hotel in Midtown Manhattan Sunday night.

Many were photographed in their fancy outfits walking into the event. Of course, Kim K made a huge splash in her silver gown and Gaga looked pretty goth-glam in her get-up.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson's run-in at 'Saturday Night Live's 50th-anniversary special was nothing more than an unplanned catch-up at the show's taping ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... staff at the event at 30 Rock asked Kim if she wanted to cut the line, but Kim didn’t want to do that in front of the actors and comedians waiting.

We're told KK didn't want to be a diva, so she stood in line and waited. Enter Pete ... who was one of the next people in line, not far behind Kim, so they ended up chatting a bit while waiting to get into the studio.
