Bowen Yang Responds to Criticism of His Chappell Roan-Inspired Moo Deng Sketch: ‘Needing the Hose’


Bowen Yang reacted to criticism of his Chappell Roan-inspired Moo Deng 'SNL' sketch on Sunday (Sept. 29). See what he said.

In an expired Instagram Story posted on Sunday (Sept. 29), Yang responded to a headline from Variety saying that his appearance as Moo Deng on Weekend Update was meant to “mock” pop star Chappell Roan. In the sketch, Yang played the baby pygmy hippopotamus from Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand who has taken the internet by storm over the last few weeks. “everything she has ever asked for has been reasonable and even then we can connect it to another story about boundaries or whatever,” he wrote, before calling up a joke from his Moo Deng sketch.
