Bowen Yang Reveals A ‘SNL’ Host Once Made Multiple Cast Members Cry

Buy Me A Coffee

Bowen Yang has a wild story about the worst guest host to ever grace the Saturday Night Live stage, and it’s juicier than a soap opera marathon!

On Sunday (August 11), Bowen, who’s snagged an Emmy nod and can currently be seen on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live with his podcast partner Matt Rogers, spilled the beans about an unnamed host who turned into a total diva. This guest made the entire cast cry before even reading through their sketches, all because he thought their ideas were as appealing as a soggy sandwich. Bowen’s reaction? “Terrible.”

Matt chimed in with a cheeky comment about the host’s “new PR” efforts, to which Bowen just rolled his eyes and agreed. “Yeah, I bet he’s now the poster child for ‘How Not to Win Friends and Influence People.'”

When asked about his most epic SNL sketch flop, Bowen shared a hilarious behind-the-scenes hiccup from Ayo Edebiri’s recent hosting gig. Picture this: A live sketch set in an elevator where Bowen and Ayo thought it would be a blast to suggest making out with everyone because, hey, the elevator was stuck! But surprise, surprise – the sketch was stealthily transformed into a pre-tape while they weren’t looking. The result? It was about as smooth as a porcupine in a balloon factory.

Bowen shrugged it off with classic grace. “Comedy’s like a box of chocolates—you never know if you’re getting a nutty surprise or a gooey mess,” he said. “But hey, you roll with the punches and let it slide off your back like a banana peel.”
