Saturday Night Live Weekend Update has traditionally been home to bizarre and off-the-wall interviews, but this one… this one is a winner.
Bowen Yang, who just a couple weeks ago jokingly(?) bemoaned SNL‘s unwillingness to let his “gay Passover bunny” sketch happen, returned to Weekend Update as the iceberg that sunk the Titanic. Playing the part like a celebrity with a checkered past, Yang icily (OK, maybe slight pun intended) informs co-host Colin Jost that he’s not there to discuss “the sinking.”
Why is he there, then? To promote his “hyper-pop EDM new disco fantasia” album called Music. Naturally! The normally unflappable Yang skates close to breaking a few times and really, who can blame him? This sketch is peak SNL weirdness.
