-I'm freaking out. -I'm freaking out.
You're freaking out? I'm freaking out.
-I'm getting a little emotional.
Look at you. Cover boy.
Hello! Hello! Hello! [ Cheers and applause ]
-What's that pose called?
-You know, I love that pose.
That pose is called -- What is it called?
-I was talking to a friend just now, and he said it's
someone just pushed you over the shoulder,
and you're like, "Whoa!"
I think that's what it is. That's the full name.
-Let me see what this is. This one's going like...
I think this one is called,
"Oh, you're not going to spoil the end for me."
-Oh, yeah! [ Laughter ]
"I haven't seen 'Mayor of Easttown' episode five yet.
Don't tell me what happened."
-That's the spoiler one? -That's the spoiler one.
-Congrats on "Saturday Night Live" and everything.
You're doing such a great job.
This whole cast, this whole season.
-Yes. Everybody. -The writers and cast.
-And crew. Everybody. -And crew for doing this.
I mean, honestly, for pulling a show off
in general is just amazing.
You did something on the show a couple weeks ago
that got a lot of people's attention.
You played the iceberg.
[ Cheers and applause ]
The iceberg that sank the "Titanic."
Where did the idea come from? -This?
-Walk me through it. -Okay.
It's such a crazy journey because the head writer
of "SNL," one of the head writers, Anna Drezen,
an old friend of mine from college,
she texted me in February.
"Hey, maybe for the April 10th show,
for the 'Titanic' anniversary, you can play the iceberg
who sank the 'Titanic.'" [ Laughter ]
And I was like, "Yeah, cool. Maybe, sure."
And then I kind of raised my eyebrow at her over text.
But then April rolls around and then I text her,
"Hey, were you serious about that iceberg idea?"
And she was like, "I completely forgot about it.
Let's do it. Why not?"
And then the entire week we did it, we just --
we're losing our minds a little bit
'cause we kept looking at each other and bursting out laughing,
like, on Saturday at like 7:00 p.m.
as we were supposed to turn in scripts.
We were like, "What are we doing?"
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-"This will never make it on to TV.
Will people 'get it?'
Because there is just so much going on here."
-The iceberg came on "Update" to promote --
-His album. -Yes.
He has a techno --
-It's a hyper-pop, EDM, new disco fantasia.
-Sorry. -So it's a lot of genres.
-Yes, a lot of genres in there.
And then just got upset.
-Got upset because he doesn't want to be known for this thing
that happened in his past
and he actually feels victimized by it.
We had a line in there that was originally,
"Yes, I remember that boat attack,"
which I think is the perfect --
that's what happened when the "Titanic" sank.
The iceberg was attacked by a boat.
-That's correct. The iceberg did not move.
-No. -Yeah.
It was the funniest thing.
I loved it, and then it was trending on Twitter
for like the next three days. -Oh, my God.
-And it was massive.
By the way, the Mother's Day show, your mom was fantastic.
Please tell her I thought she was so funny.
Mom, you were great. -She was great.
-The Purell. -Purell.
She could handle a prop bit.
-Was she nervous? -She was very nervous.
She wouldn't tell me she was nervous,
but everyone complimented her in the studio.
Like, "You handled the props great."
She's like the Carrot Top and Gallagher of moms.
[ Laughter ] -She really is.
-She is.
-Oh, my goodness. That's so funny.
I remember my mom was on the Mother's Day thing.
And she was so nervous.
She was freaking out, and I remember at the beginning,
we did a monologue with all the moms.
Everyone's there, you know, with their moms or dads, you know.
And we're all standing around.
And I got something in my eye. -[ Gasps ]
-If you ever want to see a disaster, get something
in your eye when there's 30 moms on stage.
[ Laughter ] Because I go like --
Someone's going, "Hold your lid out
and roll your eye back."
"Blow in it!" "No, put water in it!"
"No, blowing will be fine." Grabbing my head.
I was like, "Okay, guys, hold on."
-That's beautiful to be screamed at by that many moms.
-It was a fantastic Mother's Day moment for me.
-Yeah.
-I follow you on Instagram, by the way.
I follow @fayedunaway.
-@Fayedunaway is the handle, yes.
-I just think that's interesting.
-Yeah. It's interesting.
All I want is for Faye Dunaway, the real Oscar-winning actress,
to, like, sue me or something.
[ Laughter ]
-Would you go to court? -I would go to court.
I would get locked into, like, the longest battle with her.
No, all I want is just -- -Talk to her.
A cease and desist or -- Yeah.
-She's watching. Faye.
-Faye? Faye Dunaway. -Legendary.
-Legendary actress Faye Dunaway. -Amazing, gorgeous.
-All I want is for you to reach out to me
and call me "that sniveling homosexual."
[ Laughter ]
-That's not what you want.
-Yes, it is what I want! It is what I want!
Because she's fantastic
and I just want her to insult me and say,
"You give that handle to me.
I want to be on Instagram with everybody else."
-I don't think she would care about Instagram,
but I think that she cares about you and that you love her,
and I think that she would say, "Hey, you know what?
You've got my blessing."
-Wow! I hope that happens.
-"And I love you and congrats on your success, Bowen Yang."
-Jimmy, thanks so much for having me.
-Dude, you're the greatest, bud. I'm so happy for you, pal.
Bowen Yang. [ Cheers and applause ]
