Morgan Wallen Jokes He Wishes He Were Drunk for ‘SNL' 3 Months After Being Sentenced to DUI Classes
Morgan Wallen joked that he wishes he was drunk for 'Saturday Night Live' in a promo for his musical guest appearance this week — the irony being that the country star was just sentenced to DUI classes and two years of probation in December after pleading guilty to two misdemeanor charges of reckless endangerment.
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.

Patrick Mahomes' Three-Word Reaction to Major Retirement Announcement
Patrick Mahomes' Three-Word Reaction to Major Retirement Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The offseason is an opportunity for NFL teams to get back to the drawing board and prepare for the upcoming campaign. This has been the case for the Kansas City Chiefs, who are looking to bounce back this season following their heartbreaking Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in February. Advertisement Sad as it might be, the reality is that the offseason is also a time for players – especially those who have been in the NFL for an extended period – to reflect on their respective careers and what the future holds for them. In this light, the offseason also brings about retirement announcements from players across the league. This was the case for veteran wide receiver Chris Conley, as the 32-year-old wide receiver announced his decision to retire. Conley, who played the last two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, took to Instagram on Saturday to announce his retirement from the NFL after 10 playing years. Patrick Mahomes played alongside Conley with the Chiefs for two seasons. This was at the start of Mahomes' career, and Conley was one of his weapons out wide. Advertisement Mahomes sent Conley a three-word message on Sunday. "Congrats my man!!!" Mahomes commented on Conley's post. One of the photos Conley used in his retirement announcement included Mahomes. The Chiefs' star quarterback appreciated the gesture, and Mahomes decided to share the photo on his Instagram stories. In his post, Conley said that one of the reasons behind his decision to walk away is that he "set sights on something new." According to his agent, Jonathan Perzley, Conley is going back to the University of Georgia to pursue his dream of becoming a filmmaker.
