Bowen Yang Archives

Even though Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang has been on-screen since 2019 (Season 45), he was first hired as a staff writer in the 44th season (September 2018) That means we have six seasons' worth of hosts to check out – but Yang let it slip that it was a male host, so we[...]

In a profile interview with Variety, NBC's Saturday Night Live stars Bowen Yang and Kenan Thompson covered a wide range of topics related to the recently wrapped 49th season as the long-running sketch comedy/music series inches closer to the milestone – Season 50 Two topics that grabbed headlines had to do with actor/comedian Dave Chappelle[...]

For those who forgot, Gillis was originally tapped to join SNL back in 2019 – alongside Bowen Yang & Chloe Fineman But the long-running sketch comedy & music series would soon part ways with the newly-announced cast member only days after recordings of racist, sexist, and homophobic comments surfaced – part of a YouTube channel called[...]

Now, folks on social media (and some mainstream media sites) are focusing on the reaction from SNL stars such as Bowen Yang & Sarah Sherman to Chappelle's appearance.

With Stephen Colbert out this week due to health issues, we're assuming we won't be getting Harvey Guillén's take – but that could mean that we get Bowen Yang's take on the situation during this weekend's Saturday Night Live (fingers crossed) As Santos cleans out his office and prepares for a life… doing something… we wanted to[...]

And just to twist the knife a little more, we're also getting a look at what might just be the last (though some would argue "unofficial") the last sketch for the season, too – and it comes courtesy of cooperation between SNL and T-Mobile.

Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us) and Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live) lend their voices to a hilarious recent episode of FOX TV's HouseBroken season two Honey (Lisa Kudrow) and Chief (Nat Faxon) become status-obsessed when Jill (Maria Bamford) buys them a fancy new dog mansion Chico (Sam Richardson) is reunited with his former owner, who[...]

And for this go-around, our host & musical guests are joined by SNL cast member Bowen Yang And we're getting not one… not two… not even three… but four mini-promos that cover everything from Yang not getting today's slang and Ortega trying a little too hard to be upbeat to Yang revealing Ortega's odd "cosmic"[...]

And since we're Saturday Night Live junkies, we were all about Chloe Fineman, Sarah Sherman, Bowen Yang (with some great pizza/getting drunk advice), and Please Don't Destroy (Ben Marshall, John Higgins & Martin Herlihy) showing up in sketches and doing a little side-hosting Here's a look at SNL's impact on New Year's Eve… Image: NBC Screencaps First[...]

So Elon Musk happened. As did a lot of things during Saturday Night Live- from Murder Durder and Miley Cyrus to... Chad dying? Our thoughts...

… We hung out on a tour bus, and he says to me that night … 'I met you before.' I'm like, 'Well, I have no recollection.' He looked kinda hurt." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjiN1M34v74&t=1sVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: What Brought Dave Chappelle Back (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjiN1M34v74&t=1s) Saturday Night Live's 46th season includes Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant, Michael Che,[...]

"Everybody's kind of been like, 'Yo, who's the guy that's so pissed off?' Cause we're on a group text, so we're all just like, 'I don't know.' So, yeah, we're all excited and really don't understand the controversy."

Add to that SNL cast members Bowen Yang, Andrew Dismukes, Aidy Bryant, and Michael Che all weighing in on the matter (with the three former not exactly coming across as too excited by the move and Che using the opportunity to get some great digs in at "Weekend Update" co-anchor Colin Jost). Now we've reached that point where the[...]

And that not-too-thrilled vibe isn't just shared among the viewers- SNL folks Bowen Yang, Andrew Dismukes, and Aidy Bryant posted varying degrees of pushback on social media (and we offered our humble historical suggestion on how the SNL cast should handle things here) The person we've been following the most on the topic had been "Weekend Update"[...]

Bowen Yang responded to a tweet from Musk that read, "Let's find out just how live Saturday Night Live really is" with an Instagram story that reposted Musk's tweet with the text, "What the f— does that even mean?" A legitimate question because at best? Musk's tweet comes across as some kind of challenge-slash-pissing contest[...]

But you know a segment is hitting on all cylinders when even an interview between Jost and the Iceberg that sank the Titanic gets laughs- especially when said-Iceberg-with-a-new-album-to-promote is played by Bowen Yang: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVo6fnHJaHUVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Weekend Update: Matt Gaetz Venmo Sex Scandal – SNL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVo6fnHJaHU) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jST_bwbsA6sVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript[...]

While the "Hot Ones with Beyonce" sketch deserves repeated viewings and a comfortable spot at the top of Maya Rudolph's "Best of SNL" resume, this weekend's episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live (with Jack Harlow as the musical guest), last night's episode was another mixed bag- with "Hot Ones" being joined by two "music video"[...]

In the first of two sketches, Jonas is joined by SNL cast members Ego Nwodim and Bowen Yang– who make sure Jonas understands that this could be the break he's been waiting for, kid! Following that, Nwodim and Yang are surprised to learn that Jonas is also the musical guest because their newest single just[...]
