Privileged as we are to witness Bowen Yang's genius every Saturday night, it's easy to forget that he's been making our cheeks hurt for years. With Awkwafina. With Seth Meyers. On The Simpsons. But now? Yang is having what's known as a moment, showing up in the blockbuster Wicked, slaying in the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special in February, and now starring in a rollicking reimagining of Ang Lee's seminal queer comedy The Wedding Banquet.
We met on the Lower East Side for a much-needed coffee on his only day off. "Actually, it's my half-day off," he says. Apparently when you are Bowen Yang and you are crushing it, a half-day off is the best you can hope for. Because this moment he's having? It's not actually a moment at all. It's a career. Here, he takes our ELLE Man questionnaire. |
