Morgan Wallen Jokes He Wishes He Were Drunk for ‘SNL' 3 Months After Being Sentenced to DUI Classes
The bit began with 'SNL' cast member Chloe Fineman boasting that she loves spring in New York City — and that she's currently drunk — at the top of the promo. 'Anora' Best Actress Oscar winner Mikey Madison chimed in that she was drunk, too.
'I wish I was,' Wallen lamented.
Watch the promo, which premiered Thursday, below:
In December, the 2024 CMA Entertainer of the Year pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment after he threw a chair from a rooftop in downtown Nashville in April 2024.
Included in his sentence is a week of DUI education and supervised probation for the next two years.
The chair-throwing incident was witnessed by two officers, as well as staff members of the six-story honky tonk bar called Chiefs. Video footage also showed Wallen 'lunging and throwing an object off the roof.' Fortunately, no one was injured by the thrown object.
The 'Cowgirls' singer posted his $15,250 bail and was released the following morning.
He shared this apology to his X account at the time: 'I didn't feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks. I've touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family and the good people at Chief's. I'm not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility.'
Wallen was previously arrested for public intoxication in 2020.
This weekend will mark the country singer's 'Saturday Night Live' debut. He was scheduled to perform in October 2020, but was replaced after he violated the show's COVID protocols at the time. His new album, 'I'm the Problem,' drops May 16 before he hits the road on a national tour with Miranda Lambert in June.

Kristen Wiig & Bill Hader Offended Taylor Swift in SNL's Hysterical Hollywood Dish
When Taylor Swift embarks on the press tour to promote her new album The Life of a Showgirl, it's safe to say she won't be visiting "Hollywood Dish." When Swift hosted Saturday Night Live in Season 35 on November 7, 2009, she was just two weeks away from the 2009 American Music Awards, where she was the most-nominated artist. It was also just two months after the VMAs, when Kanye West interrupted her acceptance speech for Best Female Video. Swift's huge year included this sketch from her double-duty episode, in which she met chaotic celebrity interviewers Brady Trunk (Bill Hader) and Anastasia Sticks (Kristen Wiig). As the sketch starts, Swift immediately claims to be a big fan of Brady, Anastasia, and their Hollywood Dish show. They're flattered, but not flattered enough to go easy on the singer."Six American Music Award nominations. Not bad!" may seem like an innocuous beginning, but Swift is quickly thrown by Brady and Anastasia's unnerving facial expressions and synchronized head movements. "I'm sorry, is everything okay?" Swift asks. "It's just you're nodding a lot, and I thought maybe you were trying to tell me something." "Oh, no, no, no! We just don't want to talk while you're talking," Wiig's character explains. "It'll screw up the sound," Brady adds. "We just do that so you know we're engaged." Ever the amiable guest, Swift plays Swift kept her composure while Bill Hader spit in Kristen Wiig's face Problem is, those active listening facial expressions get a thousand times worse. As Swift shares her nerves about performing live, they mime screaming. When she shares that she feels pretty good about winning at the AMAs, they shake their heads and whisper to each other. "What do you think about Ellen joining American Idol?" Brady asks. "American Idol? I don't really watch it, honestly," she admits — whereupon Hader spits his full beverage in Wiig's face. From there, they smear lipstick on their faces, eat ice cream, and even fall asleep as Swift tries to answer their questions, then leaves when it all becomes too much. Of course, that's not what the final edit shows. Watch "Hollywood Dish" from Season 35, Episode 5 above, and stream every season of Saturday Night Live on Peacock anytime."Hollywood Dish" aired two more times with Jennifer Lopez and Scarlett Johansson Swift starred in the first iteration of "Hollywood Dish," but Anastasia and Brady returned twice in 2010 to interview Jennifer Lopez and Scarlett Johansson. They drove both stars to breakdowns, and they've never conducted another interview since, so it's not a stretch to imagine that they might have finally been fired. Hollywood Dish with Scarlett Johansson Swift has only hosted that one time, but that episode resulted in plenty of memorable moments. In Digital Short "Firelight," Swift channeled Kristen Stewart's Bella Swan in a romance with one of Frankenstein's monsters, played by Hader. She also debuted her impression of Kate Gosselin in a parody of The View, complete with a wig that will be hard to unsee. Solve the daily Crossword

Chiefs owner opens up on Taylor Swift ‘whirlwind' — and the complete change she ‘unintentionally' ushered in

During an interview on 'The Pat McAfee Show' on Friday, Hunt discussed the effect Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce has had on his organization following her appearance on the tight end's 'New Heights' podcast. Hunt was nothing short of positive when discussing Swift — specifically citing her impact with female Chiefs fans over recent seasons.

AP 'It's been a whirlwind, I would say, for the organization over the last two years since Taylor literally stepped into our lives. She's done an amazing job, unintentionally, of increasing our female fanbase. 'We used to be about a 50-50 ratio, male-to-female fanbase, and now 57 percent of our fans are female, which I think is probably the highest in the National Football League. So there's absolutely been a Taylor Swift effect.' Advertisement 3 Taylor Swift joined the 'New Heights' podcast on Wednesday. @New Heights/YouTube Hunt also shared his support of Swift and Kelce's relationship, saying that the two make an 'amazing couple.' 'Let me just say how happy we are for their relationship,' Hunt said. 'They're an amazing couple, and watching the two of them together is really special. That podcast, seeing them side by side talking about their relationship, was absolutely amazing.' 3 Hunt says that Swift and Kelce make an 'amazing couple.' New Heights/Youtube Advertisement During her time on the 'New Heights' podcast on Wednesday, the 14-time Grammy winner opened up about her 'rookie' NFL season during the early stages of her and Kelce's relationship, revealing the moment that means the most to her from that year. Swift, who started dating Kelce in 2023, said she cherished the moment when Kelce's mother invited her down to the field to celebrate the Chiefs' AFC Championship game win in 2024. 'The first time I stepped on the field, which would have been when you won the AFC Championship, the first season that I was with you, and it was in Baltimore, and we're in the suite and you just won the AFC Championship, we're freaking out and everybody's screaming, and [Travis'] mom goes, 'Alright, let's go down to the field,'' Swift, 35, said during the podcast. 'I was like, 'What, we're doing, what do you mean? We're going where?' And she's like, 'We're going down to the field,' and I was like, 'Did he say that that's OK?' Cause we hadn't talked about this.'
