Bowen Yang Gets Real About Wrapping On SNL 50, And His ‘Last Nights’ Comments Are Kind Of Giving Me Exit Vibes

BBG News

The remarkable 50th season of Saturday Night Live was a standout, featuring jubilant anniversary specials graced by numerous prestigious guest stars, a significant concert event with Eddie Vedder and Post Malone, and numerous episodes filled with cameos throughout the season (not to mention arguably Colin Jost and Michael Che’s finest “Joke Swap” segment). However, as the final curtain has fallen on this season, with no more anticipated SNL guest hosts on the horizon, fans are speculating which cast members may be departing before Season 51 begins.

It might seem unexpected that the season finale of Saturday Night Live passed without any official announcements or strong whispers about who will stay and who will leave. However, there had been whispers that Bowen Yang was likely to depart, considering his rising career in films and television beyond the long-running comedy series. His actions during the final episode certainly added fuel to this speculation.

Currently, he shared some insights with EW regarding his mental state and the reason behind his noticeable emotional peak as the cast embraced during the final moments of Season 50’s conclusion. In his own terms:

1. He explained his current mindset to EW.
2. The reason for his visible emotional surge during the group hug in the Season 50 finale closing was also discussed by him.

It seems to me that at Saturday Night Live, there comes a time when you realize the end is drawing near. For me, it was acknowledging that night could be one of my last, and that realization carries a significant weight.

To certain people, it could seem like a prelude to separating his forthcoming ventures from NBC’s Emmy-winning series. However, others might interpret it as him stating that particular night was one of his last nights on the show, which suggests there may be at least one more episode yet to come.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that the Australian comedian mentioned that Season 50 was an enormous undertaking for everyone involved – cast, crew, and beyond. Therefore, the sense of relief from successfully completing such a significant task might have influenced Yang’s on-stage behavior that particular night. He went on to say:

As the final curtain fell at Goodnight, I felt a sense of immense relief wash over me, considering all the twists and turns from this season. It’s been quite the rollercoaster, filled with laughter and joy, which I believe is what struck me most deeply. In that moment, I couldn’t help but think – I need to cherish these moments, for they may not last forever.

Reflecting on his recent statements, it seems evident that he’s not planning a yearly return as the Titanic iceberg for at least the next decade. However, let me clarify, he’s not saying goodbye forever. Just like how SNL occasionally invites veterans like Cecily Strong back for delightful comebacks, I can envision moments where we might see him again, perhaps in a surprising reprisal. After all, even when he steps away from the main cast, it doesn’t erase his impact or presence. For instance, this season has demonstrated the continued relevance of Wayne’s World icons, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey.

Ultimately, whatever decision Bowen Yang deems suitable is the right one, and anything that maintains his peace of mind and joy. You can catch him in the enjoyable Prime Video comedy series titled “Overcompensating“, as well as the animated comedy “The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy“.

It’s all about Bowen Yang’s choice, ensuring his happiness and sanity. He can be found on Prime Video in the hilarious show “Overcompensating“, and also in “The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy“, a witty animated comedy.
