Bowen Yang has entered the ring for “mystery drone” commentary.
Over the weekend Yang, Saturday Night Live’s first Chinese-American comedian, appeared on the show’s “Weekend Update” segment dressed as one of the drones seen flying over New Jersey over the last month.
The skit was part of SNL’s final episode of 2024. It was a nod to the series of drone sightings across the Northeast, and the FAA’s recent enactment of temporary flight restrictions over the state for the rest of the year.
“Who’s controlling you,” Che asked Yang’s drone character. “Who’s controlling you, Michael?” Yang responded. “People are like: ‘Is it a UFO? Is it a drone? Is it a promo for SNL 50?’ Meanwhile, I’m just minding my own business, hovering over people’s homes, maybe filming them.”
During the skit, Yang showed love for New Jersey – a rarity on the show that for years has made the Garden State the butt of its jokes, with past jabs at the state’s smell, residents’ appearances and past governors.
In a hilarious new skit on Saturday Night Live, cast member Bowen Yang takes on the recent phenomenon of mysterious drones spotted flying over New Jersey.
In the skit, Yang plays a confused and slightly paranoid New Jersey resident who becomes obsessed with the drones, convinced they are spying on him. As he enlists the help of his friends and family to uncover the truth behind the drones, chaos ensues as they come up with outlandish theories and wild conspiracy theories.
With his trademark wit and comedic timing, Yang brings the absurdity of the situation to life, poking fun at the hysteria surrounding the mysterious drones and the internet sleuths trying to solve the mystery.
The skit is a perfect blend of humor and social commentary, highlighting the absurdity of modern-day paranoia and the power of viral trends. Don’t miss this hilarious take on the ‘mystery drones’ phenomenon, only on Saturday Night Live!
