AceShowbiz - "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) targeted country star Morgan Wallen after his abrupt exit during the end credits of the March 29 episode. During the cold open on April 5, a week after Wallen's headline-making appearance, James Austin Johnson portrayed President Donald Trump and made a pointed joke at Wallen's expense.
Speaking about his so-called "Liberation Day" tariffs, Johnson's Trump character discussed the countries targeted by the President's policies and mentioned that one of them was an uninhabited island.
"It's called Heard and McDonald Island," Johnson's Trump said, holding a poster featuring a hamburger in a hula skirt. "I would love to visit there. Can you imagine that? Big Mac and a hula skirt. Get me to God's country, right? Remember that?"
Later in the show, SNL's "Weekend Update" co-host Colin Jost took additional swipes at Wallen, noting the financial woes of the country by quipping, "Money is leaving the stock market faster than Morgan Wallen at goodnights."
Morgan Wallen performed two songs, "I'm the Problem" and "Just in Case," from his anticipated album set for release on May 16.
The performance was overshadowed by his unexpected exit and subsequent cryptic Instagram post displaying a private jet and the phrase "Get me to God's Country." The term quickly became a trending meme, with various celebrities and even skyscrapers joining in on the joke.
Wallen, however, was unfazed by the jokes. Capitalizing on the moment, the singer launched a new line of merchandise emblazoned with the same exact phrase.
