Morgan Wallen (Kind of) Explains Abrupt ‘SNL’ Walk-Off: ‘I Was Just Ready to Go Home’


In an interview with Caleb Pressley, Morgan Wallen had an explanation for his sudden departure from the stage at 'Saturday Night Live' in March.

Wallen initially made a comment via a post on his Instagram Stories, with a photo from his private jet captioned “Get me to God’s country,” and literally capitalized on the moment by selling merch with the catchphrase on it. Colin Jost poked at him in “Weekend Update,” saying Trump’s tariffs have sent the stock market plummeting “faster than Morgan Wallen at goodnights.” And castmember Keenan Thompson went off, telling Entertainment Weekly, “I don’t know what goes through people’s minds when they decide to do stuff like that. On Sunday, Wallen made a rare interview appearance on on comedian Caleb Pressley’s podcast, during which the host backed into the question after a joking bit about the singer doing a lot of work around the house (which he apparently no longer does).
