Overview

  • Morgan Wallen addressed his unexpected walk-off during 'SNL' credits, stating he was simply 'ready to go home' after a week of rehearsals.
  • The singer's Instagram post featuring a private jet captioned 'Get me to God's country' went viral and has since been turned into merchandise.
  • Wallen declined participation in a pre-taped 'SNL' sketch, with Joe Jonas stepping in for the role.
  • Longtime 'SNL' cast member Kenan Thompson described Wallen's exit as a 'spike in the norm' but noted the cast quickly moved on from the moment.
  • The incident has been referenced humorously in subsequent 'SNL' episodes, including during the cold open and Weekend Update segments.
