They all kind of did but that was by virtue of the actual performance. It wasn't meant for all the cast members to be standing around. I think a few lingered awkwardly

Yeah, any controversy about Driver or anyone else walking off is contrived to get eyeballs.
It was a weak episode but Driver did a good job with what little he was asked to do. After the summer off I was expecting Weekend Update to have more of a punch than it did. Otherwise I've learned to lower my expectations for the season premiere.
Y'all liked the old man sketch better than me but I did like the Kyle Mooney pre-taped bit.
