Bowen Yang Pens Goodbye Message to ‘SNL’ Ahead of Last Episode: ‘I’m Grateful for Every Minute of My Time There’

Bowen Yang is speaking out about leaving “Saturday Night Live.”

“I loved working at SNL, and most of all i loved the people. i was there at a time when many things in the world started to seem futile, but working at 30 rock taught me the value in showing up anyway when people make it worthwhile,” he posted on his Instagram along with a carousel of photos.

He continued, “i’m grateful for every minute of my time there. i learned about myself (bad with wigs). i learned about others (generous, vulnerable, hot). i learned that human error can be nothing but correct. i learned that comedy is mostly logistics and that it will usually fail until it doesn’t, which is the besssst.”

Along with thanking the cast and crew of the show, he also gave a shoutout to his “Wicked” co-star and this week’s “SNL” host Ariana Grande “for sending me off in the dreamiest way i could imagine.”
