‘SNL’ Pokes Fun at Morgan Wallen 1 Week After He Abruptly Left the Show Early: Watch

Saturday Night Live got the last laugh!
One week after Morgan Wallen abruptly left the show near its ending after serving as the musical guest on the March 29 episode, the late-night comedy sketch series poked fun at the moment twice during its April 5 airing.
The first Wallen-related joke came during the Cold Open, when James Austin Johnson, playing President Donald Trump, referenced Wallen’s “God’s country” comment he made in an Instagram Stories post after the show. “I even put tariffs on an island uninhabited by humans. It’s called Heard and McDonald Island,” Johnson, 35, said as the politician. “McDonald Island. 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, Colin Jost poked fun at the country singer during Weekend Update, while making jokes about the current financial state of the country. “This was the worst week for the stock market since the summer of 2020. But you have to remember — back then, the president was also Trump,” he said, adding: “Just in the past two days, investors have lost over $6 trillion. Money is leaving the stock market faster than Morgan Wallen at goodnights.”

During last week’s episode of SNL, which saw Mikey Madison serve as host, Wallen performed two songs off his upcoming album, I’m the Problem.
At the end of the show, Madison, 26, expressed her thanks to all who made the show possible while standing next to the country crooner.
As the camera panned out, Wallen could be seen leaning in to whisper something into the actress’ ear, before stepping off stage and walking right past the camera before him.
Shortly after, Wallen shared a photo on his Instagram Stories of a private jet with “Get me to God’s country” written in white text over it. (He has since started selling merch making light of the situation and the statement.)

A source close to Wallen later explained to Variety that the star enjoyed his time on SNL and never meant to offend with either his exit or social media post. (The insider specifically highlighted that was the same way he entered and exited the New York City studio all week during rehearsal and camera blocking.)
The source also told the outlet that Wallen also didn’t put much thought into how his actions would look to others, reiterating there is no drama.
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.”
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.
The latest episode of SNL was hosted by Jack Black and saw Elton John and Brandi Carlile perform as the musical guests.
Saturday Night Live will return on April 12 with Jon Hamm as host and Lizzo as the musical guest.

“The figure is dressed in a dusky pink Jenny Packham gown, silver pumps in the style of Gianvito Rossi ‘Rania 105′ and finished off with an exact replica of the signature Lover’s Knot Tiara,” the release continued. “The tiara itself is from the Madame Tussauds London archives, and was worn by the figure of Princess Diana in the 1980s.”
The royal headpiece is the one Kate has worn the most during her royal life and was also a favorite of her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, who wore it on multiple occasions. According to the Court Jeweller, the special tiara is more than 100 years old and was originally commissioned from the jeweler Garrard by Queen Mary in either 1913 or 1914.
The wax figure’s look was completed with a Royal Victorian Order blue sash as well as “the Royal Family Order of QEII and replica Greville Diamond Chandelier earrings.”

‘Love Island USA’ host Ariana Madix reveals which cosmetic treatments she gets

“Love Island USA” host Ariana Madix is coming clean about her cosmetic treatments.
“I just did my first laser treatment. I’ve been very interested in that for a long time. I keep things at a minimum,” Madix tells Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” hosts Evan Real and Danny Murphy in an exclusive interview.
She goes to reveal that she does get Botox “every six months or so.”
“I just got a little bit in my lips because they were getting a little crusty on the inside. I never go more than 0.5 at a time,” she adds. “Because I never want to look crazy.”
Madix, 39, explains that she started getting laser treatments to address skin laxity.
“Fine lines, I don’t give a s–t about, but skin laxity is something I’ve been dealing with,” she says.
Due to that, the “Vanderpump Rules” alum says she was told by professionals that she’s “not even a candidate” for facial fillers because she doesn’t “have the structure to support it.”
“That’s why we started on the lasers,” she elaborates. “So I will report back after I’ve had all the things.”
In addition to her cosmetic treatments, the former Bravolebrity reveals that she drinks “insane amounts of water, like 100 ounces a day” and “constantly” goes to the gym.
Madix acknowledges there is “a lot of pressure” when it comes to aging but tries to keep everything in perspective.
“I feel like you don’t want to be preoccupied with it too much,” she says. “But at the same time, if you feel good about doing something, go ahead and do it. At the end of the day, it’s nobody’s business.”
“I know in the industry, I am in a position where that stuff does matter, but I also know … I’m going to get older no matter what. … If you don’t age, you just die. I’d rather be aged than dead,” Madix adds.
Of course, this isn’t the first time the reality star has detailed her cosmetic enhancements.
While she isn’t doing facial fillers anymore, she confessing to getting filler in her chin and lip last July after a fan speculated she had a plethora of work done.
“i’ll tell you what i’ve had! you’re partially correct,” Madix commented in response at the time.
“tox in 11’s, outer brow, and my neck. ellevate for my neck in 2019 by @theneckdoctor. minimal lip filler bc my face is too small to handle very much and filler in my chin.”
“absolutely no filler anywhere else and def no bleph yet ❤️❤️,” she added. “hope this helps! i’ll keep yall posted if i do anything else.”
