As an asian american, i didnt mind the lack of asian representation on SNL until bowen yang joined the cast. now, im always so excited and proud when he shows up in a sketch
I genuinely do not care what anyones race is at all as long as they're funny. Something Don't like however, is when race representation becomes more important than laughs on a comedy show. I'm not saying snl has done this for asians in any way, but as many funny asian comedians I come across, it does seem a little odd that there's only been Rob Schneider and now Bowen Yang. Obviously, he did madtv for quite some time, but I would've LOVED to see Bobby Lee on here at some point.
@@trendybistro yay my first stalker! Don Soder's comedy is nothing new to me or unique. Sorry I don't like comedy written for frat boys and dads obsessed with yelling at the tv during football season. Not sorry actually
I dont get it. I think the exact opposite. I dont think he has had one funny bit. Does he do stand up? I want to like Bowen, I just dont see the funny anywhere.
People who point out how ridiculous it is to like someone just because they're the same race as you clearly don't understand how it feels to be an underrepresented minority. As an Asian person, seeing Bowen Yang on SNL (or Sandra Oh anywhere) really makes me feel some type of way.
Not since Kristen Wiig do I ever remember seeing a featured player move up in the SNL ranks so fast. And so much deserved. He’s hilarious. Every sketch my eyes go and stay focused on him. A true comedy gem.
People don't know Michiko Kakutani for her physical appearance or speaking voice but her reviews are absolutely savage and entertaining all in their own right. I need to see Bowen's impression ASAP release the tape!!
I LOVE BOWEN! When I heard he was cast as a full time cast member I honestly got a bit choked up. This hilarious dude deserves all good things forever! 💖
Makes sense that the soul cycle instructor was his idea, I loved that sketch and all the characters but the “I googled racism and that bummed me out” line killed me
@@Ilikebernie Yes to Mikey Day and Beck Bennett. But Kyle Mooney and Leslie Jones... they provided fewer laughs than expected. I think Bowen's been a fantastic add and is genuinely funny. No need to downplay his achievements.
Bowen is hands-down one the of best additions to the SNL cast of the past decade (and the funniest since Kate and Cecily). He's made cast members and hosts alike break character in pretty much every sketch he's been in.
I was in then dress rehearsal audience for the Sandra Oh episode, and we were all in awe of the intricacies of the show that we could actually see. It’s so interesting to hear Bowen’s behind-the-scene perspective on the bits that we couldn’t!
He's SO good on SNL, has already become one of my favorites on the show. I feel he can become as big as Bill Hader or Kristen Wiig. He always steals the skit even when he only has a line or two.
He's only been given secondary supporting roles and no characters that could have a reoccuring future. And every thing so far is stereotypical and only lets him play basically the same character in every sketch. Wasted opportunity so far
FATLACES THEDON You feel like Bill was as good in the first season as he was in like the fifth? Give him time, he has a lot of potential. :) No disrespect to Bill, he's one of the greats.
This video was recommended to me after seeing Kelly Marie Tran on The Daily Show and I gotta say in my entire lifetime there has never been this many Asian Americans in entertainment and it's so exciting and a long time coming.
@@YourHighwayInTheSky so far he's played a member of Chinese government and Andrew Yang which are both specifically Chinese/Asian roles. But I agree, he has also been in a few other skits without that connotation. He's just starting out so ofc they're going to use him for some of the more obvious roles until he's established himself enough as a cast member to be in all the regular skits
Drew・ドリュー the point of some characters on SNL is how there personality is consistent throughout each role-take pete davidson or leslie jones for example. i think that’s what they might be going for with bowen
Usually a newbie doesn't get much air time which is understandable, but I'm so happy that he get so much of it. He's amazing seriously. I can't believe they made him audition that much. He's so freakin hilarious.
The Titanic sketch is OSCAR worthy. It was the 1st time I saw him and it was on TH-cam. I started laughing as soon as he came onscreen.."this is gonna be LIT!" and boy was I right! I laughed so hard I got hiccups. All cast members are great, and I've watched skits over and over, but this one has me screaming!!!
I absolutely love Bowen Yang!! What a funny guy and he is excellent on SNL. I'm glad they finally made him a cast member, he never fails to crack me up. He really commits to the role. (:
FATLACES THEDON Bobby Moynihan is just always good. No wonder he has own Netflix special or own TV show I believe. Someone correct me on what it is he’s actually been doing nowadays ever since he left SNL.
i am soooo happy for him. also i can't believe he's only 4 years older than me and already was a writer and now a cast member on SNL!!! so excited for more Bowen :)
Jesus, you sound like one of those SJW who thinks any type of criticism or comment that isnt 100% what you believe means its "toxic". Btw, that word is over-used and has no meaning as it was intended because people like you dont know how to properly use it and in the right context. Go back to your safe space and maybe invest in a comfort pillow and support animal.
Native American people would prefer for others not to call people a “spirit animal.” Also seems weird to me to call a person an animal. They suggest we use “Petronius” or something else. The more you know 🌈😊
Myztik Well the Trade daddy character and KJU aren't gay...And one of my favorites Kristen Wiig also had her signature thing with awkward characters. All I care about if he makes me laugh and he always does.
As an asian american, i didnt mind the lack of asian representation on SNL until bowen yang joined the cast. now, im always so excited and proud when he shows up in a sketch
I'm not Asian and I'm not even American, but I love that he's part of SNL and hope in the future they will hire more Asian cast members.
I'm black and think Bowen is the best thing that happened to SNL in years. He's my favorite now.
I’m Jewish and I’m so happy he joined the snl cast
심은비 Im Jewish too and am upset that it took this long to get an Asian on SNL’s cast!

His welcome to the cast has definitely changed the vibe of the show and in a good way
Castellon Zamora absolutely agree!!!

@@trendybistro you know what I appreciate that. Will keep that in mind as I've only seen a few interviews and the HBO special.
Nothing really changed.
@Keith Koenig Who does make u laugh then ?
so far every sketch i’ve seen him in he’s absolutely stolen the show no matter how small his actual role is. i love him he’s so great and funny
Right!?
I dont get it. I think the exact opposite. I dont think he has had one funny bit. Does he do stand up? I want to like Bowen, I just dont see the funny anywhere.
69
“I’m not a waiter I am a baliffffftuh!” Was the best line from that shitty hungry jury sketch.
Totally!
Every SNL cast member has a professional-grade Lorne impression just tucked away

Alright
I like how Seth supports his SNL ppl
This kid is going to be a star, and he needs to do an impression of David from Schitt’s Creek.
That's all I can think of when I watch him 😂
Oh... My God.
He needs to be in that show!!😂🤣
New three men and a baby: Bowen Yang, Daniel Levy and Billy Porter.
@@gingerkid1048 I FUCKING LOVE THISSSSS
I LOVE BOWEN! When I heard he was cast as a full time cast member I honestly got a bit choked up. This hilarious dude deserves all good things forever! 💖
What did he doe before SNL? I have never heard of him to this point and dont really find him funny at all. Curios where his fan base came from.
Makes sense that the soul cycle instructor was his idea, I loved that sketch and all the characters but the “I googled racism and that bummed me out” line killed me
Trade Daddy had some really good lines. I wish other writers would take the time to make their dialogue zing.
He's been so great this season, he already feels like a regular cast member
Bowen was an amazing hire on SNL’s part! He’s so funny, and his style always seems fresh and different! ❤️❤️❤️
One of the best new cast members in a while.
Kate Mickennon, Cecily Strong, Keenan, Vanessa Bayer, Heidi Gardner, Addy Bryant but go off
@@Ilikebernie keenan was a new cast member like 17 years ago but go off lmao
Graham I’m talking about good cast members over all
chibob ok, he was like the only one i named which was awhile back. like there’s mickey day, beck bennett. kyle mooney. leslie jones
@@Ilikebernie Yes to Mikey Day and Beck Bennett. But Kyle Mooney and Leslie Jones... they provided fewer laughs than expected. I think Bowen's been a fantastic add and is genuinely funny. No need to downplay his achievements.
Am I the only one who just LIVES for Bowen's facial expressions?
Bowen Yang is awesome. So warm and genuine...and laid back for a comedian. One of my favorites.
Bowen is hands-down one the of best additions to the SNL cast of the past decade (and the funniest since Kate and Cecily). He's made cast members and hosts alike break character in pretty much every sketch he's been in.
He is hands down the funniest current cast member. I’m terrified he will be underutilized
Everytime he's on screen he brings so much energy and confidence to a sketch
Just like Kyle Mooney :'(
The rupaul skit with the minners and the ice berg one werr soooo funny
I was in then dress rehearsal audience for the Sandra Oh episode, and we were all in awe of the intricacies of the show that we could actually see. It’s so interesting to hear Bowen’s behind-the-scene perspective on the bits that we couldn’t!
Sandra Oh should be a comedian, she's so funny.
Bowen is such a natural on SNL... so funny and brilliant!
His face during the Macy's kids clothing parody was so funny!! LOL!!!
I adore him on SNL, he's a awesome addition😘
He's my favorite of the new season! Glad he didn't go for a career in healthcare, he was born for comedy!
I love him on SNL! He's the reason I'm watching the show now.
He's SO good on SNL, has already become one of my favorites on the show. I feel he can become as big as Bill Hader or Kristen Wiig. He always steals the skit even when he only has a line or two.

He is not that good. Plays nearly
the same character every time. The bottom.
FATLACES THEDON You feel like Bill was as good in the first season as he was in like the fifth? Give him time, he has a lot of potential. :) No disrespect to Bill, he's one of the greats.
He’s the best addition to SNL they could’ve chosen.
He's an amazing addition. Love him
Bowen has a genuine relaxed poise on camera yet he's snappy. Smart, real. Wonderful.
I love that everyone on SNL, past and present, do a Lorne impression.
He’s my favorite new cast member! Love his delivery and presence when he’s in a skit! Can’t wait to see more of him as the season progresses. ❤️❤️❤️
This video was recommended to me after seeing Kelly Marie Tran on The Daily Show and I gotta say in my entire lifetime there has never been this many Asian Americans in entertainment and it's so exciting and a long time coming.
I hope he gets more diverse roles in the future.

that guy was HILARIOUS in that elf singing bit
that’s like, your opinion man - the dude
Aaron Friedman No wonder he was first a writer before he became an on-screen character on SNL.
He is very charming. Thanks for having him on the show.
He's honestly one of the best members right now. He's debut character was GOLDEN.
I absolutely love Bowen Yang!! What a funny guy and he is excellent on SNL. I'm glad they finally made him a cast member, he never fails to crack me up. He really commits to the role. (:
SNL: Live from *New York* it’s Saturday Night!!!
Bowen’s Parents: So you have to move to Hollywood now?
He lived in Montréal ! That amazing Bonjour-Hi sketch makes so much sense now !
Andrew Yang isn’t even President (yet) and he’s already created one job. I haven’t seen a first season this strong since Mikey Day
Dude, right?
Bowen is my favorite actor on SNL! That guy steals the show even if he plays a secondary scene character!
"I'm a little commonwealth baby" 😂
He is so funny! A great addition to the show.
I am so happy for Bowen, I hope he gets all the success since he deserves it! 👏👏👏
Finally 🎉 an Asian American on SNL. It was a dream of mine when I was little. ❤❤❤❤❤
Am I the only one who finds him absolutely adorable and cute?
I am getting Stefon vibes from him, especially when he’s listing things with his fingers😂
He was fantastic as the Iceberg! I bet he wrote that one.😁
Two eps into this season, he has become my favorite cast member. I have LOVED every sketch he is part of writing and every sketch hes in
I absolutely LOVE Bowen I’m soooo glad he’s part of the cast!!!!! Instant fan
He killed it this week on SNL! He was almost in every sketch!
He has already become one of funniest male cast members on SNL!
Ahhhhj love Bowen, I’m here repping for Las Culturistas too
Tayrich i don’t think so honey!
Bowen is comedy GOLD!
Bowen has been a real treat to watch this season, he steals every sketch he’s in. Definitely a keeper.
He is my favorite person of 2019
His Kim Jong Un was HILARIOUS. Hope he does it again.
Bobby Moynihan's was way better
FATLACES THEDON Bobby Moynihan is just always good. No wonder he has own Netflix special or own TV show I believe. Someone correct me on what it is he’s actually been doing nowadays ever since he left SNL.
I always like to guess who wrote what sketch and his are just so *him*
He needs more air time on SNL, he is really hilarious.
He was such a great add to the show. He brings so much freshness!
Definitely a personal fave on SNL 💯❣️
That Titanic iceberg . . . this guy is a comedic genius.
What I'm afraid is that Bowen peaked with Titanic. I mean, I hope not, but I also think so. Because how do you beat that?
i am soooo happy for him. also i can't believe he's only 4 years older than me and already was a writer and now a cast member on SNL!!! so excited for more Bowen :)
I am in love with this guy! So talented!
He is killing it, do more characters.
Bowen has been by far the best part of new season starting in fall 2020!!!!
Bowen Yang is my new favorite cast member. He shines in every scene he's in!
I love him SO MUCH!!! Favorite new cast member in a hot minute for me.
Freaking watched that catty version of the trade daddy so many times and laughed so much
He is hilarious and so likable. Who would not like to hang out with this fellow?
I love his characters. He needs to be in all the sketches. ♥
Bowen is such an incredible addition to the cast, ❤️
Me after reading comments: Must get rid of toxic in the community.
I’ve seen none of it. Wym?
@@OvSpP reference to a skit with bowen and harry styles
•sd• I completely forgot about that 🤦🏻♀️

Funniest new cast member in a long time, especially when Scarlett was on. "First Asian cast member turned into, Twitter's gonna eat you alive" 😂
He’s right Sandra Oh’s character in Princess Diaries was iconic
Bowen Yang has such a warm, full laugh. I've really enjoyed him on SNL too :)
He is my spirit animal! I hope he reads all the positive comments everyone has left here!
Native American people would prefer for others not to call people a “spirit animal.” Also seems weird to me to call a person an animal. They suggest we use “Petronius” or something else. The more you know 🌈😊
I love that Seth brings on SNL folks to his show. It is great!
Bowen seems a naturally funny, clever guy - he’s a great new cast member 💜
Love Bowen my fav cast member
This guy is literally the next Bill Hader of SNL. He’s amazing.
🤣😂🤣
That's EXACTLY what I just wrote! :D He's amazing.
What? All he does is a gay character
Myztik Well the Trade daddy character and KJU aren't gay...And one of my favorites Kristen Wiig also had her signature thing with awkward characters. All I care about if he makes me laugh and he always does.
Aaron Friedman I feel like the character is just being bitchy and self-absorbant, not necessarily gay.
Great addition to the cast. Brilliant.
Las Culturistas fans rise up honey
Love love Bowen! He is so funny in every sketch on SNL.
he is such a delight to watch on screen! also a big fan of his podcast.
hehe even his glasses are sarcastic
He makes me smile☺💗
So happy he’s joined the cast he’s super hilarious
He’s adorable and so personable!
Love this guy, look forward to seeing him on more SNL skits.
I enjoy his energy on the show. Even in really small one line bits he usually kills it in short time on screen.
Seth Meyers LOOOOVES him and I am living for it.
He’s so well spoken. I love it.
What a sweetheart! He's like the love child of Daniel Levy and Anna Kendrick.
He is No 1 on SNL..freakin awesome
He’s channeling Dan Levy and I’m here for it.
Aurora, Colorado represent!
I loooveeee Bowen on SNL. He's amazing
The cut for time of him & RuPaul was fantastic!
I LOOOOVE BOWEN!!!!!😵😁💗
