Morgan Wallen’s Behavior On Saturday Night Live Raises Eyebrows
Morgan Wallen made his long-awaited return to Saturday Night Live on the March 29th episode. His last appearance on the sketch comedy show was in 2020. His invitation was initially revoked due to his lapse in COVID protocols in place at the time. However, the show re-invited him.
He returned as a music guest for the latest episode hosted by actress Mikey Madison. The country star performed “I’m The Problem” and “Just In Case,” two songs from his upcoming album. I’m The Problem hits music stores on May 16, 2025. The musical performances went off without a hitch. However, the internet can’t stop talking about Wallen’s SNL appearance.
At the end of the show, the host and music guests usually stay on stage saying goodbye until the show goes completely off the air. However, Morgan Wallen said goodbye to Mikey Madison and dipped.
But instead of exiting to the back of the stage, he seemed to purposely walk right past the camera to exit through the front door. He didn’t give any explanation for his early exit.

He Reveals Why He Hasn’t Been To A Bar Since Arrest
Morgan Wallen’s early SNL exit is just the latest in a long line of incidents that made headlines. His career was briefly sidetracked in 2021 after he was caught on camera saying the “n-word.”
His devoted fans never left his side and helped him make a huge comeback. But he faced more trouble in April 2024 when he was arrested outside Eric Church’s Nashville bar. The “Last Night” singer drunkenly threw a chair off the roof of the six-story bar, narrowly avoiding hitting two police officers on the street.
He was initially charged with three felony counts of reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon (the chair) and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. He was sentenced to seven days of incarceration and probation.
In an episode of This Past Weekend podcast, Morgan Wallen revealed that he hasn’t stepped foot in a bar since his arrest a year ago. “I ain’t been in a bar since the last time I was in a bar that everybody knows about,” he said on the podcast.
He didn’t say why exactly but heavily hinted it was due to being famous. “It’s not ideal to go everywhere, and even if you don’t get bothered, you were on edge the whole time because you thought you might. There’s things that you just don’t do. There’s just things you don’t do anymore.”
And for Morgan Wallen, one of those things he can’t do anymore is go to a bar.
What He Does Instead
He said it was the “best thing” for him to avoid bars. So what does he do in his spare time to relax? He hangs out with his friends and goes hunting.
“I can go be with my buddies. I can be in the middle of nowhere. I can be at ease. I can not stress out. You just find ways to supplement it, I think, you know?” the singer said about navigating mega-stardom.
He didn’t say that he’ll never go to a bar again, but for now, he’s taking a break from drinking in public spaces. Do you think he’s making the right decision to avoid bars? Share your thoughts in the comments.
