Morgan Wallen Joke Goes Viral After Abrupt 'SNL' Exit
Late last month country music star Morgan Wallen made headlines with an abrupt exit from the Saturday Night Live stage.
After his guest appearance on the show, hosted by Best Actress award-winner Mikey Madison for her role in Anora, Wallen made an unconventional exit from the stage. Following the conclusion of the show, Wallen stood next to Madison, who addressed the audience, “Thank you so much to Morgan Wallen. I had a wonderful time. Thank you all.”
After giving a brief wave to the crowd, the country star abruptly exited the stage directly in front of the camera while the rest of the crew exchanged pleasantries and congratulations for a completed episode. He delivered a curt message on social media following his swift exit: "Get me to God's country."
Wallen hasn't addressed the abrupt exit yet, but he did start selling merchandise with "Get me to God's country" written on it. He's also inspired a new generation of memes on X - formerly known as Twitter.
Meme account Luis Vercetti posted a photo of Wallen walking off the SNL stage with the caption, "me leaving work at 5pm without saying bye to anyone."

The tweet received 50,000 likes and was viewed 1.3 million times as it spread around social media like wildfire.
Earlier this year Wallen announced the upcoming release of his fourth studio album following his One Thing at a Time, which topped the Billboard 200 albums chart for 19 non-consecutive weeks and spawned seven No. 1 country singles.
He's set to kick off a brief tour that will hit 19 stadiums in 10 different cities including Cleveland, Houston, Seattle, Toronto and more.
