Morgan Apologizes
Morgan apologized to his fans and his team for letting them down. This could have been a huge career break for the former The Voice contestant, who is gaining momentum in the music industry. Video surfaced of him, on social media, kissing multiple women and partying without a mask. That violates SNL's strict Coronavirus protocols. The show just returned to the studio, last week, for the first time since the pandemic began.
