During this week's SNL episode -- which was hosted by A Minecraft Movie 's Jack Black -- the singer's quick escape came up twice. In the cold open, James Austin Johnson, used the "God's country" quote. Weekend Update also made a Wallen reference in a joke related to recent tariffs.

"America elected Trump to run the country like a business, but it turns out he's running it like one of his businesses," Colin Jost jokes

A source close to Wallen told Variety that his abrupt exit had not been an intentional slight, and that he had enjoyed his stint on SNL, performing two songs (“I’m the Problem” and “Just in Case”) from his new album One Thing at a Time.
