Bowen Yang recently addressed a rumor suggesting he was behind Shane Gillis's firing from 'Saturday Night Live' in 2019. The claim arose from a social media comment made by actress Michelle Best, who worked as a background actor on 'SNL.' Yang clarified that he had no involvement in Gillis's firing, which was a result of a resurfaced video containing racist remarks. This uproar highlights the complexities of casting dynamics and the rapid dissemination of misinformation in the entertainment industry.
Yang firmly rejected claims that he played a role in Shane Gillis's firing from 'SNL,' stating his involvement was solely in a sketch during Gillis's brief tenure.
The comment by Michelle Best alleging Yang's involvement reflects the misunderstandings that can occur in the high-pressure environment of television production.
