The Gayest of Emmy-Nominated Bowen Yang on 'SNL' (So Far)
10 Queer Gifts Bowen Yang Gave to SNL
Since Bowen Yang began writing for Saturday Night Live in 2018 and became a featured player in 2019, he's added some much-needed queer content to the mother of all sketch shows. Early on in his tenure as a writer, he cowrote "The Actress," in which Emma Stone plays an actress who makes a cameo in a gay adult film. He went on to play everything from the aggrieved iceberg in Titanic to a messy gay reveler celebrating Pride.
This week, Yang made history when he was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. It's the first time a "featured" player has earned the nod in the show's 46-year history. And he brings Asian and gay visibility to the accolade as well. Below are 10 of our favorite, queerest Yang sketches on SNL.
1. That time he was the iceberg that sank the Titanic.
2. That time he introduced us to the "Trade Daddy."
3. The time he got real about anti-Asian hate crimes.
4. That time he talked to Harry Styles about sexy tweets.
5. That time the "Trade Daddy" returned.
6. That time he sacré bleu our minds with his French-Canadian news anchor bit.
7. That time he reminded us "It Gets Better," well, kind of.
8. That time he introduced us to China's new "Crisis Queen."
9. That time he kept it real about Zillow.
10: And, of course, the Pride Month song.
