                  <p><strong>Morgan Wallen</strong> made his <em><strong>Saturday Night Live</strong></em> debut and poked fun at the cancelation of his planned October appearance on the show after he broke COVID-19 protocols.</p>
                
                          
                  <p>The country star spoofed the viral videos showing him partying without a mask and failing to social distance, shortly before his scheduled appearance. </p>
                
                            
                    
                  
                            
                    
                  
                            
                    
                  
                          
                  <p>In the sketch, Wallen is at an Alabama bar where he&apos;s met by two future versions of himself (played by host <strong>Jason Bateman</strong> and <strong>Bowen Yang</strong>), who warn him that the events of that night will affect his future. Pete Davidson also appears as a pot-smoking bar goer.</p>

                  <p>During the sketch, Bateman&apos;s character places the blame on NBC executives for the decision to not have Wallen appear earlier this fall. </p>
                
                          
                   
                
                          
                  <p>&quot;Once people hear about the party, you&apos;re in big trouble man. You&apos;re going to get kicked off <em>Saturday Night Live</em>,&quot; Bateman says. Wallen responds, &quot;Nah, nah, nah. [Creator] <strong>Lorne</strong> [Michaels] would never do that. Bateman agree Michael&apos;s &quot;would never do that&quot; but adds, &quot;the execs at NBC, they&apos;re going to force his hand, bro.&quot;</p>
