Bowen Yang Returns To ‘SNL’s Weekend Update as Unfairly Besieged Inanimate Object — This Time A Drone Flying Above New Jersey
In 'SNL' Weekend Update, Bowen Yang returned to form by portraying an unfairly besieged inanimate object — a mysterious New Jersey drone.
During this week’s final episode of the year, with host Martin Short and musical guest Hozier, Yang portrayed a besieged and mysterious drone flying over New Jersey. In a rousing end, Yang as the drone broke out into song, mirroring the lyrics to Elphaba’s “Defying Gravity,” belting out that nobody is “ever gonna bring me down.” (Yang was a prominent cast member in this year’s blockbuster Wicked: Part One, opposite Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who portrayed Elphaba.) Outside of Yang’s appearance, co-hosts Colin Jost and Che rattled through a few timely jokes, including about alleged UnitedHealthcare shooter Luigi Mangione ‘s recent arrival to New York City, which drew loud cheers from the audience.
