Bowen Yang's first screen test for “SNL” was a 'disaster' due to Lorne Michaels interaction: 'I didn't get the job'
“I had screen tested in 2017," recalled the actor and comedian. "The final step in that process is you have a one-on-one meeting with Lorne. It was him and another producer, Erik Kenward. The first thing out of my mouth was, ‘I'm Canadian, too. I grew up in Montreal. I grew up in Quebec' — and immediately it was done, it was a vibe killer."
