Bowen Yang this week recalled a past Saturday Night Live host that left multiple cast members in tears during the shows table read.

This man whothis person, this host made multiple cast members cry on Wednesday during the, before the table-read, because he hated the ideas, Yang said during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live when he was asked about the worst SNL host behavior hes ever experienced.

Host Andy Cohen was left shocked, and Yang went on to call the ordeal terrible. Elsewhere in the Bravo late-night interview, Yang also answered a question about sketches that dont go as planned, and recalled one that he wrote with season 49 host Ayo Edebiri.

We wrote a live sketch where it took place in an elevator, and she and I were, like, telling everyone that we should all make out or something because the elevator got stuck, Yang said. Then, for some reason, it got turned into a pre-tape under our noses, and we had to adapt to that It just didnt go as well as I had hoped.

The sketch he was seemingly referring to is Stuck in an Elevator, which featured Edebiri, Yang, Kenan Thompson, Andrew Dismukes and Sarah Sherman and aired in February.

Despite the surprising outcome, Yang said hes learned not to let the disappointment get to him. You just deal with it. Comedys subjective, you never know how its going to play in front of a specific audience. But its fine, you let it roll off your back.

Yang joined SNL in 2018 as a writer before becoming a cast member in 2019. Next years season 50 will be his seventh season. At next months Emmys, he is up for best supporting actor in a comedy series, his third nomination in the category.
