“Saturday Night Live” star Bowen Yang said the “worst” host on the comedy sketch show made “multiple cast members cry.”
During a game of “Truth or Kink” on “Watch What Happens Live” Monday, host Andy Cohen asked Yang to share the worst behavior he has ever witnessed without disclosing the host’s name.
“This man — this person, this host — made multiple cast members cry on Wednesday during the table read because he hated the ideas,” he revealed.

“Terrible,” the comedian added.
Yang, 33, was first hired to join the “SNL” writing staff in 2018 ahead of the show’s 44th season.
A year later, he was promoted to on-air cast status for the NBC show’s 45th season.
Elsewhere in his interview on “Watch What Happens Live,” the four-time Emmy nominee recalled his biggest bomb in “SNL” sketches as one he planned for “The Bear” star Ayo Edebiri during her February appearance.
“We wrote a live sketch where it took place in an elevator, and she and I were, like, telling everyone that we should all make out or something because the elevator got stuck,” Yang explained.
“Then, for some reason, it got turned into a pre-tape under our noses, and we had to adapt to that. … It just didn’t go as well as I had hoped.”
Yang said that although his sketch did not turn out how he wanted it to, it is something that happens in the comedy industry.
“You just deal with it. Comedy’s subjective; you never know how it’s gonna play in front of a specific audience,” he explained.
“But it’s fine. You let it roll off your back.”
