Bowen Yang expected to exit SNL after Ariana Grande-hosted episode
The "Wicked" star spent six-and-a-half seasons on the "Saturday Night Live" cast.
By Jillian Sederholm December 19, 2025 1:56 p.m. ET
Bowen Yang is expected to say goodbye to Saturday Night Live with this weekend's episode after completing six-and-a-half seasons on the cast.
The comedian will reportedly exit the show following the Dec. 20 episode and not return to finish out season 51 after the new year. Fittingly, the year-end ep will be fronted by Yang's Wicked: For Good costar and close friend Ariana Grande, with musical guest Cher, whom he has often cited as one of his top icons — and his dream SNL guest.
Representatives for SNL and Yang did not immediately reply to Entertainment Weekly's request to comment.
Yang's departure will be the first exit since the SNL cast shakeup that took place ahead of the season 51 premiere on Oct. 4. Longtime stars Heidi Gardner and Ego Nwodim, as well as Devon Walker. Michael Longfellow, and brand new featured player Emil Wakim, were all missing from the current season…..
