What Was the Worst SNL Host Behavior Bowen Yang Witnessed?
Bowen Yang, a SNL cast member, spilled the tea! He said a former SNL host had terrible behavior that even made Cast members cry!
So, who did Bowen Yang say was the bad SNL host?
- He kept it hush-hush! But he gave us hints. He initially mentioned a "man", so the host wasn’t a woman like Melissa McCarthy or any of those amazing ladies who rocked those SNL host roles.
- This was back when Yang first joined as a writer in 2018, then as an SNL cast member in 2019. This rules out those who have hosted after those years!
What Was The Host's Problem?
The big drama unfolded on "SNL" Wednesday. This is a major part of the SNL process: they sit down and brainstorm ideas for the upcoming live show. Apparently, this host wasn't a fan of the show’s sketch comedy ideas at all - that's the thing he hated - that caused all that sadness.
Did Elon Musk Make the Cast Cry?
A whole lot of SNL fans were shocked by Elon Musk's stint on the show in 2021 - It was controversial at best.
- The thing about Elon is that he can be kind of a diva - think of the way he handled those Twitter takeover rumors - he’s kind of like the "Elon Musk SNL experience." It's really tough to make SNL cast members happy because he's not an actor! They've had to deal with actors, comedians, and music stars before, too!
- We could think about the times he's said something outrageous in the media, or his "bad reputation." That sounds kind of like the kind of stuff Yang was hinting at, doesn’t it?!
Who Else Could It Be?
- Other people have done pretty crazy things during their time hosting SNL. It makes you think - like Dave Chappelle - he can have some controversial ideas about comedy and can do pretty crazy things, but you'll have to think hard about the whole Kanye West thing, which was kind of the talk of the town during SNL history. Maybe his "bad behavior" could explain Yang's statement.
- Bill Burr? He's also a funny guy who's known for making fun of the world, so we have to consider him, too. He even had a few wild comments back in 2020! His time hosting SNL, for a lot of fans, wasn't as appreciated!
It's actually not uncommon for these kinds of controversies to pop up when celebrities host SNL! And Yang is reminding us all of these times.
Now, even though we're not sure about who exactly made these cast members cry - we're probably gonna hear about it from the SNL cast someday. It's a super fun show - with hilarious sketch comedy, amazing musical guests, and a crazy amount of backstage stuff that we never know about!
You can watch those SNL live shows! The amazing thing about this show is that they can turn out an entire episode within a week. That makes every show even more special. We are still gonna see the amazing SNL cast members doing what they do best, so let's get ready for more laughter, more silliness, and maybe a few more scandals!
