Morgan Wallen appeared on comedian Caleb Pressley’s podcast, where he finally addressed his sudden exit from „Saturday Night Live.“ At the time, the singer posted, „Get me to God’s country.“
Morgan Wallen was ready to go home – and he meant it.
Back on March 29, the „I’m the Problem“ singer was the musical guest for „Saturday Night Live“ when he abruptly left the stage during the traditional end-of-show credits segment.
Shortly after leaving Manhattan’s 30 Rockefeller Plaza, Wallen wrote that he was excited to return home. The country music star shared a photo on his Instagram Stories of a private jet with the caption „Get me to God’s country“ written over it.
On Sunday, the 31-year-old appeared on comedian Caleb Pressley’s podcast when he finally addressed his sudden exit.
„Seriously, ‘SNL,’ did they make you mad?“ the host questioned after cracking several jokes.
„No, no, I was just ready to go home“, said Wallen. „I’ve been there all week.“
During the episode, the two also poked fun at another incident that landed the star in hot water.
„Do you mind if we do a new segment presented by Food Barn, please?“ said Pressley. „In this segment, I want you to name a thing that you can sit in that also flies through the air.“
„I mean, there’s one obvious answer“, said Wallen. „Why do you want me to say that though? I mean, yeah, a jet.“
„There’s another answer to that question as well“, Pressley teased. „You can sit in it, and it can also fly through the air.“
„Oh, I know the answer to that question“, said the singer. „A chair!“
In 2024, Wallen was sentenced to spend seven days in a DUI education center and be under supervised probation for two years after throwing a chair from the rooftop of a Nashville, Tennessee, bar. The chair nearly hit two police officers.
Regarding the „SNL“ incident, sources previously told Fox News Digital that nothing was wrong at the show, and Wallen’s walk-off appeared to be an „oops“ moment.
