SNL celeb host ‘made multiple cast members cry’

A cast member on Saturday Night Live has revealed that a male celebrity host on the show behaved so poorly, it left cast members in tears.

Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang said the “worst” host on the comedy sketch show made “multiple cast members cry.”

During a game of Truth or Kink on Watch What Happens Live this week, host Andy Cohen asked Yang to share the worst behaviour he has ever witnessed without disclosing the host’s name.

“This man – this person, this host – made multiple cast members cry on Wednesday during the table read because he hated the ideas,” he revealed.

“Terrible,” the comedian added.

Yang, 33, was first hired to join the SNL writing staff in 2018 ahead of the show’s 44th season.

A year later, he was promoted to on-air cast status for the US comedy show’s 45th season.

Elsewhere in his interview on Watch What Happens Live, the four-time Emmy nominee recalled his biggest bomb in SNL sketches as one he planned for The Bear star Ayo Edebiri during her February appearance.

“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,” Yang explained.

“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.”

Yang said that although his sketch did not turn out how he wanted it to, it is something that happens in the comedy industry.

“You just deal with it. Comedy’s subjective; you never know how it’s gonna play in front of a specific audience,” he explained.

“But it’s fine. You let it roll off your back.”
