Country music star Morgan Wallen will return to Saturday Night Live next week despite the multiple controversies surrounding both his debut appearance on the show in 2020 and being caught on tape using the N-word.
SNL announced that Wallen would be joining Anora star —and newly crowned Best Actress Oscar-winner—Mikey Madison when she hosts on March 29, five years after the country music star had his first ever musical guest appearance on the show canceled.
It all started when video surfaced showing Wallen partying without a mask and kissing multiple people during the height of COVID in 2020, SNL canceled his appearance at the last minute (replacing him with Jack White), though he returned to do the show a few months later. Wallen acknowledged that the behavior was “short-sighted” at the time.
