Bowen Yang Says He Didn't Mock Chappell Roan With Moo Deng 'SNL' Sketch


Saturday Night Live’s Bowen Yang weighed in on claims that he mocked Chappell Roan during his Moo Deng sketch

Yang, who spoke with Roan for an Interview Magazin e profile last month, continued: “Everything she has ever asked for has been reasonable and even then we can connect it to another story about boundaries or whatever. During the Saturday, September 28, premiere episode, Yang took the SNL stage dressed as Moo Deng — a baby pygmy hippopotamus from a Thailand zoo that has gone viral on social media. Saturday Night Live has catapulted the careers of many of today’s most popular comedians, including Will Ferrell, Eddie Murphy, Tina Fey and Adam Sandler.
