Bowen Yang Thinks ‘SNL’ Should Be Allowed To Curse On Air: “We’re Dismantling The FCC”


Bowen Yang made a case for 'Saturday Night Live' to be allotted a certain amount of on-air curse words a year, following a recent brush with the FCC.

“I don’t think so honey, Standards and Practices, we should be able to say at least five ‘s—’s and five ‘f—’s on SNL per season,” he said on the closing segment of his Las Culturistas podcast. After SNL appeared to avoid FCC fines over Nwodim’s bit, Yang noted, “I don’t think anything came down, which I love. Yang’s co-host Matt Rogers suggested that “whenever he decides to stop, Kenan [Thompson] on his last episode, the whole 90 minutes should just be him saying whatever the f— he wants.”
