After greater than 5 years as a “Saturday Night Live” solid member, Bowen Yang has had the chance to work with a wide range of A-list actors, pop stars and even athletes.
Nonetheless, Yang says there’s at the least one one who stands out for all of the incorrect causes.
Showing on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” Sunday, Yang was requested to recall the worst conduct he’s skilled from an “SNL” host, with out naming names ― and he had a really particular response regardless of that constraint.
“This man who … this person, this host made multiple cast members cry on Wednesday during the, before the table-read, because he hated the ideas,” he stated. “Terrible.”

Elsewhere within the interview, Yang described one other less-than-desirable second from his “SNL” tenure ― particularly, a sketch costarring “The Bear” actor Ayo Edebiri that didn’t go in keeping with plan due to shifting circumstances.
“We wrote a live sketch where it took place in an elevator, and she and I were, like, telling everyone that we should all make out or something because the elevator got stuck,” he defined. “Then, for some reason, it got turned into a pre-tape under our noses, and we had to adapt to that.”
“It just didn’t go as well as I had hoped, and you just deal with it,” he continued. “Comedy’s subjective; you never know how it’s gonna play in front of a specific audience. But it’s fine, you let it roll off your back.”
Whereas Yang saved the identification of the problematic visitor host a secret, different “SNL” solid members haven’t been so diplomatic in relation to behind-the-scenes chatter.
Showing on “The Howard Stern Show” in 2018, Pete Davidson put fellow “SNL” veteran Chevy Chase on blast, deeming the “National Lampoon’s Vacation” star a “genuinely bad, racist person.”
4 years later, Chase shrugged off the criticism.
The fiftieth season of “Saturday Night Live” premieres in September, with solid alum Maya Rudolph set to return as Vice President Kamala Harris throughout the last weeks of the 2024 presidential race.
Yang, in the meantime, will likely be seen alongside Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo within the forthcoming film adaptation of Broadway’s “Wicked,” due out in November.
