Bowen Yang Got Asked What It Feels Like When Lorne Michaels Cuts His 'SNL' Sketches. His Answer Is So Visceral

Working on "Saturday Night Live" can be a gift and a curse. Each week, the cast waits and sees if their sketches either make it on air or get completely cut before showtime. Of course, the late-night institution’s will-it-or-won’t-it process is the norm for cast members, including "SNL" veteran Bowen Yang. He was asked what it felt like when Lorne Michaels cut his sketches and gave a visceral answer.

Getting a TV sketch cut is nothing to the Fire Island star, given the fringe benefit of appearing on the iconic sketch series. Yang spilled to "Today with Hoda & Jenna" his real feelings about how some of his ideas never made it to air after his Hooters SNL sketch.
