While speaking to People magazine in February 2026, Yang said that he "was watching" the first episode of season 51's second half, which aired on January 17.
The Las Culturistas podcast co-host then explained that watching SNL following his exit “feels very strange” because he no longer has a sense of levity about the show's sketches.
In addition, he said this new chapter away from SNL is "bizarre, but ultimately fun."
He also said that he does occasionally feel pangs of wanting to be back on the sketch comedy show.
Yang addressed his departure from SNL in a December 20 Instagram upload. In the caption of the post, Yang said he enjoyed "working at SNL" for seven years and "loved" his castmates.
In addition, Yang expressed gratitude for his friends, co-workers, fans, and the different SNL hosts he's worked with over his seven seasons on the show. In addition, he thanked the show's creator and executive producer, Lorne Michaels.
Bowen Yang Said 'SNL' Helped Balance Fame
In a December 2025 interview with Esquire, Yang shared that he believed starring on SNL helped him balance out fame. He explained that he believes "fame makes you a little bit too passive in life."
"I think you expect things to come to you. I think you expect things to happen and to work at a place like SNL is, I think the perfect counterweight to that because you have to be a self-starter," said Yang during his Esquire interview.
