Ditching the band

“SATURDAY Night Live” veteran Kenan Thompson has ditched his wedding ring after his breakup with wife Christina Evangeline. The star served as emcee for the Hard Rock Hotel’s starstudded grand opening in Times Square and appeared unfazed by the tumult in his personal life, The Post’s Francesca Bacardi reports. “He looked like he was having so much fun,” one spy said. “He emceed the start of the show before John Legend performed and brought his drink onstage and kept saying how he was just ‘chillin.’ ” Legend hit the stage about 40 minutes after he was scheduled to appear, so Thompson comedically vamped. Thompson kept a pair of shades on at the event and an after-party, where he was seen chatting with Mayor Eric Adams, Cara Delevingne, Vanessa Hudgens and more. Page Six confirmed in April that Thompson and Evangeline were splitting after 11 years of marriage. Thompson is the longest-serving cast member on “SNL,” soon finishing up his 19th season on the show.
