Bowen Yang Shares the Struggles of Impersonating George Santos on SNL - Late Night with Seth Meyers

LOVE it that Bowen is pulling off a look that would be equally fitting on a 5 year-old girl or 60 year-old museum docent.
❤🤩❤

I like it when comedians compliment other comedians on particularly skilled work. Seth is right, that Weekend Update segment was outstanding improv under difficult circumstances. People often don't give enough credit to the depth of skill some improv artists possess.

My favourite was when he was the iceberg that the Titanic hit, it was hilarious!!!!

[mccall]

The amazing thing about Bowen is it seems like he could be announced to join just about any project & I’d immediately think “hm that’s smart, cool casting” and start to get invested in seeing/supporting. The energy he brings to everything just makes me happy

[WhistleblowingGoodWitch]

Between Fran Lebowitz impression pulling me out of Pandemic Depression, and George Santos impression pulling me out of recent winter blahs, I am so grateful for you Mr. Bowen Yang THANK YOU!

[tricityladytn]

One of the most naturally funny people out there. I can't get enough Bowen Yang!

[edmundowatts]

I love how Late Night has become SNL's Untucked.

[pollyjazz]

I love this guy! Needs more time on SNL! And his George Santos is the best one of the various impersonators. Could only be better if he was able to make his smile a little bit creepier.

[elizagrogan]

I love this guy. Best move SNL has made

[cme]

Bowen is incredible! He’s the best..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[hgmet]

George Santos is incredibly talented. He's not only created SNL, he's now established himself as the best comedian SNL has ever had.

[kellifranklin]

George Santos created SNL and stars in it as well.

[NewMessage]

Bowen Yang? That guy told me his name was George Santos! He tried to get me to vote for him! * shakes a fist *

[Lizzie-vekt]

I really want Bowen’s titanic iceberg to be a reoccurring character on weekend update. I love him so much lol.

[joanneweiss]

Never watched a single Housewives, but Bowen just made me want to immediately start watching Miami 🤣🤣🤣I love this man and his meteoric evolution & rise, his lucky proud family!!!! Triple star ⭐⭐⭐🔥💥👏👏

[Mediaright]

This is Bowen LITERALLY doing an irl Stefon bit. Like, literally. Amazing.

[epona]

I can't imagine him EVER outdoing his performance as the iceberg in Titanic. Just brilliant!

[KtotheL]

Fav New cast member hands down. GJ Bowen!

[stephenjames]

Bowen is one of the standouts recently on SNL

[armancho]

I think Bowen should do his take on Coffee Talk maybe as Linda's niece Belinda Richman 😂...i bet there wouldn't be a dry seat in the audience 🤣
