Morgan Wallen explains viral SNL exit: 'I was just ready to go home'
Country music star Morgan Wallen has spoken out about his controversial exit on Saturday Night Live. In March the 31-year-old singer was the musical guest when he abruptly left the stage during the traditional end-of-show credits segment. He was criticised for leaving the broadcast early without acknowledging any of the show's cast members, or host Mikey Madison, who were saying the customary goodbyes to each other on stage, per the weekly sketch show's tradition. Wallen spoke out about the viral incident during the latest episode of Sundae Conversations with Caleb Pressley. After Pressley asked Wallen if he could "fix a TV, if it was on SNL," the country singer responded: "I could change it for sure." Pressley then alluded to his decision to walk off the show in March, asking: "Seriously, SNL, did they make you mad?" Wallan responded: "No. I was ready to go home. I'd been there all week." Pressley also brought up Wallen posting a photo of a private jet on his Instagram Stories with the caption, "Get me to God's country," the same night he appeared on SNL, and the singer simply responded, "Yeah," with a smile. SNL's longest-running cast member Kenan Thompson previously made his thoughts known about Wallen's abrupt exit. "I don't know what goes through people's minds when they decide to do stuff like that," he told Entertainment Weekly. " I don't know if he understood the assignment or not, or if he was really feeling a certain kind of way." Kenan went on to point out how unusual it was for Wallen not to stick around during the show's ending credits. "It's definitely a spike in the norm," the comedian explained. "We're so used to everybody just turning around and high-fiving us, everybody's saying, 'Good job, good job, good job.' So when there's a departure from that, it's like, hmm, I wonder what that's about?"

Morgan Wallen Speaks Out on His Abrupt 'Saturday Night Live' Exit: 'I Was Just Ready to Go Home'
Why did Morgan Wallen abruptly exit the Saturday Night Live stage? The country star sparked controversy by walking off the SNL stage at the end of the episode after serving as the musical guest alongside host Mikey Madison in March, and now he's speaking out on the moment in a new interview on Caleb Pressley's Sundae Conversations. Wallen addressed the ordeal after Pressley questioned if the "Last Night" singer cuts his own grass or takes out his own trash these days, which he does not. "Could you fix a TV, if it was on SNL?" asked the host. "I could change it for sure," said the "Last Night" singer. Pressley then followed up, "Seriously, SNL, did they make you mad?" "No, no," assured Wallen. "I was just ready to go home. I'd been there all week." Shortly after exiting SNL, the "I Had Some Help" artist shared a photo on his Instagram Stories of a private jet featuring the text, "Get me to God's country." When reminded of the post on Sundae Conversations, Wallen simply smiled and said, "Yeah." During his appearance on SNL, the Grammy-nominated star performed "I'm the Problem" and "Just in Case," both of which are set to appear on his upcoming I'm the Problem album, out May 16. At the end of the show, Madison, 26, expressed her thanks to all who made the show possible while standing next to Wallen — who could be seen leaning in to whisper something into the actress' ear, before stepping off stage and walking right past the camera before him. He then shared the "Get me to God's country" post and later sold merch making light of the situation and the statement. Longtime SNL castmember Kenan Thompson reacted to the moment not long after in an interview, telling Entertainment Weekly, "I don't know what goes through people's minds when they decide to do stuff like that. I don't know if he understood the assignment or not, or if he was really feeling a certain kind of way." At the time, PEOPLE also confirmed that Wallen was offered a cameo in a pre-taped sketch called "Big Dumb Line" but turned it down and was replaced by Joe Jonas. One week after Madison and Wallen's episode, SNL parodied his exit in two sketches. Read the original article on People
