单集简介 ...

Bowen Yang never thinks he’s ready for any of the opportunities he gets, including being a guest on WTF for this episode. After a discussion on who gets more nervous before interviews, Marc or the guest, Bowen explains where this lifelong anxiety and insecurity comes from, and a lot of it is rooted in the gay conversion therapy he had to undergo as a teen. They also talk about the vibe of Saturday Night Live during this second Trump administration and the pressures that come with being the gay Asian SNL cast member.

  • He's a cast member on Saturday Night Live.

  • He's also been in Wicked, Bros and Dicks,

  • the musical, which was a fucking crass, beautiful piece of work.

  • He's nominated at the Emmys this year for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

  • And it was just a very, very classic kind of episode.

  • Classic kind of engagement and talk.

  • That is what makes this show compelling to me for all these years, and I'm sure compelling to you.

  • I know that a lot of the stuff I've been talking about out there in the world and a lot of the clips from my special have kind of taken off.

  • And between us, I mean, me and you, my audience,

  • I've been talking about this shit for over a decade.

  • And I kind of keep it here with us.

  • And making the rounds at podcasts, it's just I don't know why,

  • you know, I feel you get to a certain age where zero fucks are given.

  • But also it's like someone's got to fucking say something.

  • And the truth is, like,

  • I don't know that I see myself as a courageous person

  • because it's hard to put yourself out there like that.

  • And and then sort of see what happens.

  • It's it's scary and it's a little overwhelming, but it's not some sort of act of courage in my mind.
