Bowen Yang Broke His Silence About His Sudden "Saturday Night Live" Departure

A mid-season departure for a cast member is uncommon, but it has happened in the past. Notably, it occurred in 2022 with Cecily Strong, in 2001 with Molly Shannon, in 1993 with Dana Carvey, in 1984 with Eddie Murphy, and in 1998 with Norm Macdonald, who was fired mid-season.
