Morgan Wallen Returns to SNL, Mikey Madison Hosts Post-Oscar Debut

Morgan Wallen returned to Saturday Night Live on March 29, 2025, performing his new singles 'I'm the Problem' and 'Just in Case' from his upcoming album, amidst mixed reactions due to his past controversies. The episode was hosted by Oscar-winning actress Mikey Madison, whose debut was marked by unremarkable sketches that failed to showcase her talents fully. Despite the hype surrounding her Academy Award win for 'Anora,' Madison's performance was criticized for being relegated to supporting roles and lacking memorable content. The cold open featured a group chat spoof involving a White House scandal, but overall, the episode struggled to deliver engaging material. Weekend Update provided some standout moments, but much of the show felt safe and forgettable. Fans are hopeful for better offerings in the remainder of the season, especially given Madison's potential.
