Bowen Yang Describes the ‘Wicked’ Scene That Gave Him a Panic Attack


Bowen Yang appeared on the latest episode of 'Hot Ones' to talk about 'Wicked,' his favorite pop albums of 2024 and more.

While fighting off a heat-induced panic on the set of Hot Ones, Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang explained that one particular scene in Wicked made him similarly break down. He continued, saying that at the end of a long shoot day, he was brought to set and asked to recall the choreography he’d learned months prior. Listing out beloved albums such as Cowboy Carter, Hit Me Hard and Soft and The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess(“We’ll grandfather it in,” Yang said, noting the album was released in 2023), the SNL star became briefly stuck between Sabrina Carpenter’s Short ‘n Sweet and his Wicked co-star Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine.
