Bowen Yang is all-in with the cringe on Saturday Night Live .

The SNL cast member, on Wednesdays episode of the Las Culturistas podcast, weighed in after his co-host Matt Rogers declared that sometimes you have to climb up a huge hill of cringe following talk about the 2024 election.

On the other end ... you slide down into happiness and nirvana, Rogers said.

I know about working through cringe. Climbing a cringe mountain? I work at Saturday fucking Night Live, the cringiest thing in show business on every level, Yang later declared.

Climbing cringe mountain, cringe mountain is SNL , eternally grateful that I work there, will be the defining thing of my life and career and yet it is a cringe mountain.

Yang joined the SNL cast in 2019 after he was hired as a writer one season prior.

The Emmy-nominated comedian, who made history as the first Chinese American to be on the SNL cast, added that people have constantly told him how much the show sucks.

[They say] how bad it is, how its not as good as it used to be. For your career, that has to do something to you psychologically where you emerge and go, I dont give a fuck, he said.

Rogers told Yang that while he doesnt think its cringe, its cringe to people in general due to the shows popularity and its tendency to attract opinions.

And its comedy and its subjective, added Yang, who is set to star as Pfannee in the Jon M. Chu-directed Wicked films later this year.

Rogers later continued, But on the other side of it, guess what Bowen, you get to actually, the visceral thing of people laugh, people feel good and that is why were doing this. And that is why America is worth saving so that we can protect people and live up to what this actually all is fucking about.
