Morgan Wallen’s SNL Exit: A Hilarious Trolling by the Show’s Writer
Let’s dive into this delightful drama that has the audacity of a reality TV show, but with a little more twang and a lot more jet fuel. Morgan Wallen, country music’s most talked-about bad boy, recently made headlines not just for his music, but for a rather sudden exit from “Saturday Night Live.” Picture this: the cameras are rolling, the audience is buzzing, and midway through the chaos, Wallen decides to channel his inner diva and skedaddle offstage. His grand finale? An Instagram Story featuring a private jet and the cryptic caption “Get me to God’s country.” Oh, honey, the melodrama!
Now, if you think that was the end of it, think again. Enter Josh Patten, an SNL writer who apparently had a field day with Wallen’s departure. He took to social media, posting his own version of Wallen’s jet escapade — but wait for it — with a picture of a Krispy Kreme truck instead. Yes, you read that right. Patten’s caption was a cheeky nod to the notion that perhaps the true “holy land” isn’t Nashville but rather a truck full of glazed donuts. Now that’s a holy trinity of sugary goodness and Southern charm!
Curiously enough, Wallen’s exit wasn’t the grandstanding we might assume. Sources close to the country star suggest that his departure was less drama and more a case of miscommunication. Apparently, he left the stage in the same way he arrived for rehearsals, completely oblivious to the chaos he was about to unleash online. One might say he’s got a knack for unintentional theatrics.
Remember, this isn’t Wallen’s first rodeo with SNL. His history with the show is a turbulent one, having been cut from the lineup previously for some pandemic-era antics that involved partying and kissing strangers. One has to wonder if Wallen’s relationship with the iconic show is more of a tragicomedy than a solid partnership. Will a third chance be the charm, or will it be a case of “thank you, next”? Time will tell, but for now, Wallen seems to prefer the simplicity of his Southern roots over the bright lights of New York City.
In the end, as Wallen straddles the fine line between country music stardom and social media shenanigans, one thing is certain: he keeps us all entertained.
