Studying Time: 2 minutes
Bowen Yang is about to finish his run on Saturday Evening Stay.
In accordance with Folks Journal insiders, the comic will depart this sketch comedy present after making one last look on the December 20 version of the collection.
This episode might be hosted by Yang’s good pal and Depraved co-star Ariana Grande.

Neither Yang himself nor anybody related to the humorous star has confirmed this exit. However Folks is reporting on it as if it’s a finished deal.
A five-time Emmy nominee, Yang turned SNL’s first Chinese language American solid member when he joined in 2019… and in addition one among its first overtly homosexual stars.
As his profession took off, some believed Yang would depart this system earlier than it even began Season 51 again in September.
“I’ve always gone by the instinct of, do I have more to do? And I feel like I do,” he instructed Folks within the fall.
“Even Kay D. Rhodes Lorne [Michaels] and I talked about it, and Lorne was like, ‘You have more to do,’ and that means a lot, because I even confessed to him. I was like, ‘I feel the audience is maybe getting sick of me.’ And he was like, ‘That’s not true. There’s more for you to do. I need you.’”

Beforehand, Yang described the Saturday Evening Stay as “this growing, living thing where new people come in and you do have to sort of make way for them and to grow and to keep elevating themselves.”
He’s all the time made it clear that he wasn’t gonna stick round without end.
Yang stays grateful to Michaels for the chance and, we assume, will focus going ahead on his huge display screen profession.
“I owe a lot of my life to that show,” Yang has mentioned. “And I love working there, the people are the best. I really love each of them so much.”
