During the year’s final episode of “Saturday Night Live,” cast member Bowen Yang ecombineed at the “Weekfinish Update” desk dressed as one of the drones that have been sighted over the skies of New Jersey — which, as co-anchor Michael Che elucidateed, caused the FAA to publish “momentary fweightless recut offeions” over the state.
“Wow, indoors,” Yang shelp as the drone. “Different.”
“So, how are you?” asked Che. “Or should I say, what are you?”
Yang replied, “No, see, we’re not going to do that. I understand what I am, and I don’t have to elucidate myself to anyone at any time for any reason.”
“Okay, but who’s superviseling you?” shelp Che.
“Who’s superviseling you, Michael?” Yang batted back. “People are enjoy, ‘Is a UFO? Is it a drone? Is it promo for SNL 50?’ Meanwhile, I’m fair minding my own business, hovering over people’s homes, maybe filming them.”
“Dude, why are you in New Jersey?” asked Che. “Um, why is anyone in New Jersey?” retorted Yang. “Oh, right, because there’s pretty nature and excellent schools! Yeah! Bet you thought I was gonna create some inexpensive ‘Sopranos’ joke. No, people inhabit there, have some admire.”
“They’re saying these sightings are fair manned aircreates,” shelp Che.
“Alright, what’s this obsession with whether I’m manned or not?” asked Yang. “For the sign up, I can get a man whenever I want. Trust me, there’s no problem there. Manned, unmanned, I create it toil.”
“Go ahead, ask me who I pick to have relations with,” Yang persistd. “It’s helicselecters, okay? I enjoy them because they’re enjoy me but they’re hugeger and deafeninger. And they book a lot of TV toil. I’m dating the helicselecter from ‘Succession,’ if you must understand.”
Yang then bemoaned how people shoot lasers at him and hide their kids. “I sense enjoy Elphaba, for genuine for rea,” Yang shelp, evoking the heroine of “Wicked” — the movie musical in which he also stars. So naturpartner, he begined into a drone-eased rfinishition of “Defying Gravity,” finish with green weightlessing. “Fine, I’ll be the villain. I’m the one you want, it’s me!” cried Yang, mimicking lyrics from the showstopping number in the hit film.
“If you attfinish to find me, see to the Jersey sky!” Yang sang with gusto. “And nobody, in all of Jerz, no Bethanny that is or werz, is ever going to convey me down!”
