Why Morgan Wallen was replaced by Joe Jonas in SNL sketch

  • Country music star Morgan Wallen reportedly declined to participate in a Saturday Night Live (SNL) musical sketch titled "Big Dumb Line," leading to his replacement by Joe Jonas.
  • Wallen's "abrupt" exit from the live show, where he left the stage as the credits rolled instead of interacting with the cast, sparked controversy and confusion.
  • SNL cast member Kenan Thompson expressed his bewilderment at Wallen's departure, describing it as a "spike in the norm."
  • Wallen later posted an Instagram story with a picture of a private jet and the caption "Get me to God's country," which he subsequently used on merchandise.
  • Sources close to Wallen claim there was no ill intent behind his actions, suggesting he might not have been aware of the cameras during his exit.
