‘S.N.L.’ Brings Back Bowen Yang as Jensen Huang
Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Dario Amodei were among the other tech billionaires satirized at the start of an episode hosted by John Mulaney.
After appearing in "Oh, Mary!" on Broadway, Bowen Yang returned to "Saturday Night Live" to play former Nvidia executive Jensen Huang in the show's opening sketch. The sketch poked fun at a gathering of tech billionaires, with comedians John Mulaney and Jane Wickline joining Yang as part of the group. Mulaney, hosting the show for the seventh time, portrayed a C.I.A. agent who briefed the tech moguls on a "sensitive matter of national security."
He asked the assembled billionaires to distinguish between a woman genuinely interested in engaging in sexual activity and one who was a spy, referencing Huang's affair with a Chinese citizen. Huang's fellow tech executives, played by Mulaney and Wickline, offered unsolicited advice on dating women, with Mulaney suggesting "never date a Chinese woman" and Wickline replying, "never date a human woman."
