AceShowbiz - Morgan Wallen reportedly turned down to participate in a sketch on "Saturday Night Live". This happened during his return to the show over the weekend, which ended with a buzz when he was caught on camera making an unceremonious exit during the curtain call.
According to Variety, Wallen, 31, was slated to sing the bridge of the "Big Dumb Line" skit alongside host Mikey Madison, Chloe Fineman, and Bowen Yang. However, Wallen turned down the opportunity, and the role was eventually filled by Joe Jonas.
Neither Wallen nor NBC has commented on the matter.
During the Saturday, March 29 episode, Wallen performed two songs, "I'm the Problem" and "Just in Case," from his upcoming album set to release on May 16. Despite his musical contributions, what truly caught attention was his abrupt exit at the end of the show.
Shortly after Mikey Madison, 26, closed the show, Wallen saluted and seemingly whispered something into Madison's ear before walking off the stage in front of the camera while the final credits rolled and all the cast were still on stage with the host.
Shortly after his appearance, Wallen shared a photo of a private plane on social media, captioning it, "Get me to God's country," which sparked additional buzz.
The following day, "SNL" writer Josh Patten seemingly poked fun at Wallen by posting a photo of a Krispy Kreme box truck in New York City with the caption, "Get me to God's country," playfully mirroring Wallen's post.
Despite the perceived dig, Patten shared a screenshot showing that four of Wallen's songs dominated his 2023 Apple Music Replay playlist, hinting at a possible sense of humor about the situation.
Wallen's relationship with SNL has been rocky. In 2020, he was disinvited from the show after footage of him partying at the University of Alabama during the COVID-19 pandemic went viral. He was eventually reinvited back and performed on the show, even participating in a sketch that poked fun at the scandal.
Overall, Wallen's recent SNL episode was anything but typical, leaving fans and viewers questioning the motives and implications behind his unexpected actions.
