Morgan Wallen’s Early Exit from ‘SNL’ Becomes Punchline on the Show
Last week, Morgan Wallen made headlines when he abruptly left the stage during the sign off of “Saturday Night Live.” This incident became the joke of the night during the recent episode hosted by Jack Black, who returned for the fourth time alongside musical guests Elton John and Brandi Carlile.
Wallen’s early exit was referenced during the show’s “Weekend Update” segment, where co-anchor Colin Jost made a quip about money leaving the stock market faster than Wallen at goodnights. The incident was also jokingly alluded to in the cold open sketch about President Donald Trump’s tariffs, which mentioned Heard Island and McDonald Islands, the latter being an uninhabited island that Wallen jokingly referred to as “God’s country” in an Instagram post.
Following the incident, Wallen began selling merchandise with the phrase “Get me to God’s country,” referencing his early exit. Kenan Thompson, a cast member on SNL, expressed confusion over Wallen’s actions in a recent interview, speculating that perhaps Wallen had to abruptly leave for a bathroom break. Thompson noted that it was unusual for a guest to depart without exchanging pleasantries with the cast.
Overall, Wallen’s early exit from “SNL” has become a point of humor and speculation within the show and among fans.
