Bowen Yang Addresses Backlash Over A Recent ‘SNL’ Impression
HuffPost
“Oh geeez” began the comedian's response.
Bowen Yang seems to think the word “mock” is too strong of a verb.
The “Saturday Night Live” cast member drew backlash over the weekend for comparing Moo Deng — a very meme-able pygmy hippopotamus — to pop star Chappell Roan.
In the bit, which Yang performed on “Weekend Update,” Yang wears a hippo costume while channeling the “Hot to Go” singer — drawing a parallel between the two internet sensations who both happen to have some overzealous and entitled fans.
Many social media users were outraged by Yang’s bit, saying that the comparison was making a mockery of Roan’s plea to fans to stop harassing her. The Moo Deng impression also came a day after Roan canceled her appearance at the All Things Go festival in New York, telling fans on social media that “things have gotten overwhelming over the past few weeks” and that she needed “a few days to prioritize my health.”
On Sunday, Yang responded to the backlash via an Instagram Story.
