American actor, comedian, and writer Bowen Yang has announced his departure from the long-running television show Saturday Night Live (SNL).
Yang, who had been a cast member on the show, shared the news via his Instagram page but did not disclose the reason behind his sudden exit. Despite this, he expressed deep gratitude for his experience on the programme and the people he worked with during his time there.
“I loved working at SNL, and most of all, I loved the people. I learned about myself (bad with wigs). i learned about others (generous, vulnerable, hot). I learned that human error can be nothing but correct. i learned that comedy is mostly logistics and that it will usually fail until it doesn’t, which is the best,” he wrote.
Bowen Yang joined Saturday Night Live in 2018 and went on to become one of its standout performers. His work on the show has earned him five Emmy Award nominations over the years.
