A video circulating on Twitter shows the uncomfortable moments John Legend struggled to find someone to hug during the closing credits of “Saturday Night Live” on May 18.
The singer performed on the finale of season 44, as part of a tribute to Nipsey Hussle organized by musical guest DJ Khaled.
As is tradition on the show, the host, cast and musical guests gather on the stage at the end of the episode to say goodnight. The credits play as they congratulate each other for a job well done.
Don't worry, John did get hugs
While in reality Legend did get a hug from host Paul Rudd and fellow DJ Khaled guest Big Sean early on in the credits, he did struggle to find someone to talk to for a few seconds after that, and that's the moment captured in Twitter user @jonnysun's video.
"Somebody hug john :(" Sun captioned the video.
