‘SNL’ Mocks Morgan Wallen’s Walk-Off From the Show in Two Segments: ‘Money Is Leaving the Stock Market Faster Than Morgan Wallen at Goodnights’
“Saturday Night Live” isn’t letting bygones be bygones following country superstar Morgan Wallen‘s abrupt walk-off during the goodnights of last week’s episode.
Wallen, who performed two songs as the musical guest on the March 29 episode, bolted from the stage in the middle of the usual group hugs and farewells at the end of the show. He then posted a photo of his private jet on Instagram with the caption, “Get me to God’s country.”
On the latest “SNL” episode, the show mocked Wallen’s walk-off not once, but twice. “This was the worst week for the stock market since the summer of 2020. But you have to remember — back then — the president was also Trump. Just in the past two days, investors have lost over $6 trillion. Money is leaving the stock market faster than Morgan Wallen at goodnights,” Colin Jost said during the “Weekend Update” segment.
Earlier, during the cold open, James Austin Johnson — playing President Donald Trump — referenced Wallen’s “God’s country” social media comment. “I even put tariffs on an island uninhabited by humans. It’s called Heard and McDonald Island,” he said. “McDonald Island. I would love to visit there. Can you imagine that? Big Mac and a hula skirt. Get me to God’s country, right? Remember that?”
Wallen performed on the late-night sketch comedy series ahead of his new album release in May, while “Anora” star and recent Oscar winner Mikey Madison hosted the March 29 episode. This week, Jack Black returned as host for the first time in nearly 20 years, with Elton John and Brandi Carlile serving as the musical guests.
