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.
