Following SNL star Bowen Yang’s surprise departure from the sketch comedy show in late December, Las Culturistas podcast co-host Matt Rogers, 35, discussed Yang’s acclaimed tenure at the show on TODAY with Jenna & Friends. “I know a lot of people are surprised, because they feel like he’s such a fixture [of the show],” Rogers said on Monday, “but [he had] seven-and-a-half years on the show, five Emmy nominations, countless memorable characters and sketches.”
“Then there was the opportunity for an episode with Ariana [Grande] and Cher,” explained Rogers as the pair watched footage of Yang’s emotional farewell. “What was he supposed to do? Stay after that?”
