Bowen Yang announced his departure from Saturday Night Live! back in December after seven seasons on the late night comedy sketch series. Now, he's opening up about closing that chapter in his book of life."This is honestly what’s behind it. It’s time. Like, you would do seven seasons and then you would scoot," Yang said on the Wednesday, Jan. 7, episode of his Las Culturistas podcast. “COVID and the current media landscape, the current entertainment ecosystem is so turbulent that people have completely valid reasons for staying longer or in a lot of cases, don’t have the privilege of staying on as long as they would like to.""I have this very beautiful thing where I get to say that I stayed on exactly as long as I wanted to. Maybe, I’m sure — and I’ve said this before — I was maybe unsure about going back in the summer and I’m so glad I did," he added.
Elsewhere in the podcast, Yang couldn't contain his emotions.
“Basically everyone who worked there is on the floor showing up. I just looked out and I thought, ‘I’m so lucky that I ever got to work here,'" he said, clearly choking up. "I’m so lucky that I get to make this little statement that’s barely veiled, where I’m like, ‘I love you all'"
"I'm so lucky," he reiterated.
Yang's last SNL performance took place on Dec. 20, 2025.
