Bowen Yang (born November 6, 1990) is an American actor, comedian, podcaster, and writer.

He made history becoming the first SNL featured player to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in 2021. He was promoted to repertory status before the 47th season.

Yang has appeared in the television series Girls5Eva, Ziwe, and The Other Two and is a cast member on Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens.
