After
Morgan
Wallen
walked,
SNL
ran
with
it.
One
week
after
the
country
star
served
as
the
musical
guest
and
left
the
stage
at
Studio
8H
on
live
TV
before
the
credits
finished
rolling,
the
NBC
series
poked
fun
at
his
controversial
premature
exit.
The
first
quip
was
featured
in
the
April
5
episode’s
cold
open
sketch,
which
referenced
Donald
Trump‘s
announcement
of
broad
tariffs
on
U.S.
imports.
“You
know,
no
country
is
safe
from
my
tariffs,”
cast
member
James
Austin
Johnson
said
while
playing
the
president. “I
even
put
tariffs
on
an
island
that
is
uninhabited
by
humans.
It’s
called
Heard
and
McDonald
Island.”
He
continued, “You
know,
I
had
to
mock
up
some
artwork
of
McDonald
Island.
Howard,
do
you
mind
bringing
that
out,
please?
There
we
go.
I
want
to
go
to
there.
Get
me
to
God’s
country,
right?”
After
his
premature
exit
from
the
New
York
City-based
show
at
the
end
of
the
March
29
episode,
Wallen—who
lives
in
Tennessee—shared
a
photo
of
what
appeared
to
be
a
private
jet
on
a
runway
on
Instagram,
along
with
the
now-viral
words, “Get
me
to
God’s
country.”
