Morgan Wallen ‘refused to do SNL sketch’ and was replaced by Joe Jonas - Country star Wallen also stirred controversy with his ‘abrupt’ exit from show
According to Variety, Wallen was meant to be featured in the musical digital short “Big Dumb Line,” about the peculiar New York City pastime of regularly waiting in slow-moving lines to experience a one-of-a-kind food or collaboration that rarely lives up to the hype (see: the cronut).
Thompson, 46, who is SNL ’s longest-serving cast member, shared his thoughts on Wallen’s behavior in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, describing the singer’s departure as “so abrupt” and “a spike in the norm.”
Morgan Wallen walked off the ‘SNL' set early, which stirred memes and debates online as to why he left and around his cryptic post of "Get me to God's Country." ‘SNL’ cast members Kenan Thompson responded to his walk-off.
Wallen became a trending topic online – and still kind of is days later – because during SNL’s signature end of show sendoff (where the cast, host and musical guest all say goodbye to the audience and hug and chat), the country music singer gave his pleasantries to host Mikey Madison and then walked right off the stage.
Country singer Morgan Wallen abruptly left the "Saturday Night Live" stage after the show ended this weekend, after which he posted "Get me to God's country" on social media.
