  1. I was gonna say, it seems really odd to me that some people online were claiming that Bowen was mocking or dissing Chappell Roan, when it clearly seemed like he was drawing a parallel regarding how quickly Chappell and Moo became super famous, and also defending Chappell in general.

    Bowen Yang has always been a huge Chappell Roan fan, so I think whoever’s saying he’s mocking her needs to do their homework. SNL is known for their spin on current events on pop culture. Some people need to stop being mad on behalf of everyone else.

    I feel like we’re all near our cognitive breaking point that satire performance in support of someone is hard for my noggin to comprehend clearly. I’m glad he clarified.

  4. It took until the end for me to get that it wasn’t meant as mocking, but I still think it was a bit in poor taste. We don’t need more men commenting on women’s decisions 🤷🏼‍♀️

  5. Bowen publicly took time off last year because of struggles with his mental health. He’s very obviously not mocking someone else doing the same. The sketch was funny as a capture of the particular dynamics and big stories happening in popular culture right now. It’s truly embarrassing that anyone needs him to “clarify” this.
