Bowen Yang, now a cast member of "Saturday Night Live" (SNL), revealed in an interview that his initial screen test in 2017 was a disaster. Yang attributed the poor interaction to trying to bond with SNL creator Lorne Michaels over their shared Canadian background. Despite the setback, Yang joined SNL in 2018 as a writer and became a cast member in 2019, becoming the first Chinese-American cast member and earning four Emmy nominations.
