Comedian Bowen Yang has confirmed his exit from Saturday Night Live a day after media reports swirled that this weekend would be his last on the sketch comedy show.
"i'm grateful for every minute of my time there. 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 besssst. thank you to every single person who showed up there: friends and coworkers and audiences and hosts."
Yang has received five Emmy nominations for his work on SNL over the course of seven seasons -- one for writing in 2018 and four for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2025.
He can now be seen in the movie musical Wicked and its sequel, Wicked: For Good.
His co-star from the films, Ariana Grande, will guest host his finale episode of SNL Saturday.
