Bowen Yang is leaving 'Saturday Night Live'
Bowen Yang is leaving ‘Saturday Night Live’

(CNN) — Bowen Yang is leaving “Saturday Night Live” after this weekend’s Christmas show, in the middle of Season 51.
“He has been there for seven years — time to move on,” said a person familiar with Yang’s decision to depart the long-running NBC sketch show.
Yang first came on board at “SNL” as a writer in 2018, before joining the cast one year later. He has been nominated for five Primetime Emmys thanks to his involvement in the show, once for writing and four times for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series.

Bowen Yang has made the most of his time on SNL. I actually thought he wasn't coming back this year because he has several movies lined up. I won't be surprised if he gets his own TV series someday soon.
