The conversation has evolved just as quickly as Wallen left the scene. There was not much context provided to the Instagram Story post which he shared after his departure, which presented a photo of a private plane with legend: “Bring me to the country of God”. Wallen started selling goods using the sentence within 48 hours of the position.
“It was so sudden. And it was already such a small group on stage anyway. So it was like, Oh Wow, it was quite visible,” said Thompson in an interview the same week. “The” country of God “of all this is strange because it is, what are you trying to say? Do you try to say that we are not in the country of God?… Is it not necessarily my favorite. But whatever. “
Appear on Saturday Night Live is a week -long commitment which generally includes rest with writers, other distribution members and general rehearsals. Wallen had a lighter elevator, since he only played, while Mikey Madison finished all the required preparation of a host. The singer would have been invited to be in a sketch with Madison, Bowen Yang, Chloe Fineman, Ego Nwodim and Sarah Sherman, but refused. He was replaced by Joe Jonas.

He was originally to make his debut in an episode in October 2020, but his performance offer was canceled after videos have surfaced the singer celebrating with clear violations of the COVVI-19 protocols of the show. Wallen finally joined an episode in December, performing two songs and appearing in a sketch that pleased the canceled performance.
