Where did you see this? I haven’t seen anything about Kenan leaving SNL, just this: [Kenan Thompson gets an NBC sitcom, but will stay on ‘SNL,’ too](https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2019/05/10/kenan-thompson-snl-do-double-duty-nbc-sitcom-star/1165841001/) ---

I don’t think Simon’s jaw was dropping. I think he was just really \*digging \*what Lindsey was playing. That is the respect of one guitar virtuoso for another. ---

> [@Morgyn](#): > > I don’t think Simon’s jaw was dropping. I think he was just really \*digging \*what Lindsey was playing. That is the respect of one guitar virtuoso for another. I agree. This isnt’ the first place I’ve seen, “jaw-dropping” to describe Simon’s reaction to this, and I think it was wrong both times. Watch him - he’s just grooving on it, lost in the moment. He loves music, Lindsey makes great music. Now MY JAW, yeah, Lindsey makes my jaw drop. He’s #1 on my, “big rock star I’d love to see in concert” list. I really, _really_ love his guitar work.
