Bowen Yang<\/strong><\/a> bawled like a baby during his final “Saturday Night Live” sketch, hours after confirming he was moving on from the show.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Check out his touching final scene — he plays a Delta One Lounge employee working his last shift, an obvious parallel to his real-life situation. He gets a phone call from Ariana Grande<\/strong><\/a>, and they reminisce about all the “eggnog” he’s made over the years … another obvious parallel to the sketches he’s contributed to over this 7-year run on the show. He and Ariana then break out into song, dueting Charles Brown<\/strong>‘s 1960 song “Please Come Home for Christmas.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

His “Wicked” co-star then joins him right before he breaks down in tears, saying how much he loved working at the Delta One Lounge. He raves … “I just feel so lucky that I ever got to work here, and I just wanted to enjoy it for a little bit longer. Especially the people. I’ve loved every single person who works here, because they’ve done so much for me, especially my boss.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

His words echo those of the “goodbye” letter to ‘SNL’<\/strong><\/a> he posted Saturday afternoon, in which he thanked all of his co-workers for their support over the years … plus his boss, ‘SNL’ creator Lorne Michaels<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

In the touching scene, Cher<\/strong><\/a> plays his boss — the “CEO of Eggnog at Delta” — who offers some laughter amid the high emotion. Bowen asks her for some feedback, to which she replies … “Well, everyone thought you were a little bit too gay. But you know what? You’re perfect for me.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The scene wraps with some more song as Bowen’s character continues crying, with Ariana and Cher both hugging him.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Bowen took his final bow<\/strong><\/a> at Studio 8H in the iconic 30 Rock building one day after we confirmed the news<\/strong><\/a> he’d be exiting the show. It’s unclear why he is departing mid-season.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

He’s enjoyed a successful tenure on ‘SNL,’ first being hired as a writer in 2018 and making his debut on the cast the following year. He’s also earned 5 Primetime Emmy nominations — 1 as a writer and 4 as a supporting actor in a comedy series.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
