In a recent blast from the past, Bowen Yang took a stroll down memory lane to revisit Sydney Sweeney’s unforgettable hosting debut on Saturday Night Live, which went down earlier this year. Spoiler alert: it was a comedy goldmine!
At just 27 years old, Sydney—star of Anyone But You and champion of chaotic energy—took the SNL stage for the first time. And boy, did she come in guns blazing, ready to set the comedy world on fire!
During a recent episode of the Fly on the Wall podcast (which sounds like a true crime show waiting to happen), Bowen revealed that Sydney was practically on her knees—okay, not literally, but you get the idea—begging everyone to toss around some cheeky jokes about her body. Yes, that’s right! She rolled in like, “Hey, everyone, let’s roast my boobs like they’re a Thanksgiving turkey!”
Bowen shared, “She came in and was like, ‘Please, everyone, make jokes about my boobs!’” And you know what? The crew was probably like, “Challenge accepted!” Because nothing screams ‘I’m ready for SNL’ like being game for some booby banter.
The best part? This wasn’t just a random request; Bowen pointed out that Sydney was totally aware of how she was being “consumed” and perceived in the world of Hollywood. It’s like she walked in and said, “I see the meme potential here!”
And just in case you’re wondering, season 50 of Saturday Night Live is strutting its stuff back onto your screens on September 28. Get ready for more laughs, more sketches, and possibly more unsolicited body jokes!
