“This is honestly what’s behind it,” Yang said before giving his frank reason.
Bowen Yang has finally explained why he bowed out of “Saturday Night Live.”
On Wednesday’s episode of his podcast “Las Culturistas,” which he co-hosts with his friend, comedian Matt Rogers, the “Wicked” actor got frank about his surprising exit from the long-running sketch show after seven seasons.
“This is honestly what’s behind it: It’s time,” Yang said a little over five minutes into the episode. “You would do seven seasons, and then you would scoot.”
Yang continued, “COVID and the current media landscape, the current entertainment ecosystem, is so turbulent that people have completely valid reasons for staying longer. Or, in a lot of cases, don’t have the privilege of staying on as long as they would like to. I have this very beautiful thing where I get to say that I stayed on exactly as long as I wanted to.”
But he almost left the show earlier, he revealed.
