Bowen Yang is shedding some light on that emotional moment he shared with Saturday Night Live costar Sarah Sherman during last weekend's season 50 finale that has fans worrying he won't be back on the show next season.

"I think you get to a point at SNL where you understand that you're on the downswing of things. I think I was just processing that being one of the last 'last nights' that I would have, and that is a huge thing," Yang tells Entertainment Weekly on the red carpet at the Universal Epic Universe grand opening in Orlando on Wednesday.

During the goodnights of the  Scarlett Johansson-fronted episode, Yang and Sherman could be seen hugging closely, both on the verge of tears.

The six-season cast member elaborates, "Every finale at goodnights something leaves my body because I'm just relieved from all that happened in that season and this was a big one. We went through a lot, so many fun memories. I think that was probably what was registering. I was just like, oh, I need to savor these moments before I don't have them anymore."

Although the Wicked star is open about his mindset in the finale, he plays coy when asked directly if this means he is not coming back for season 51.

"No, we're not doing that," he laughs, refusing to respond, while being interviewed alongside longtime friend and Las Culturistas podcast cohost Matt Rogers.

But Yang will clear up another SNL season 50 mystery that fans also spotted during a recent goodnights segment.

As host Quinta Brunson was bidding the audience adieu on the May 3 episode next to musical guest Benson Boone, there was a slight commotion behind her as Yang, Sherman, Chloe Fineman, and Mikey Day were gathered at stage right, intently whispering as Fineman made a strained face.

"I can confirm that was because Chloe was asking where Sabrina Carpenter was because she was in the monologue so she was not at goodnights," he explains.

"I think it's because I was just hurriedly telling everybody I think [Carpenter] had to leave and go somewhere and catch a flight or something," Yang elaborates. "There was no drama."

Yang started at SNL as a writer in 2018 before being promoted to cast member the next year for season 45, becoming the show's first Chinese American cast member and one of only a few out gay stars in the show's history.

He's made a name for himself at the legendary sketch show with impressions of JD Vance and Fran Lebowitz, and out-of-the-box "Weekend Update" characters like the Iceberg That Sank the Titanic and viral baby pygmy hippopotamus Moo Deng. Not to mention, Yang has also scored four Emmy nominations during his time on SNL, including making history in 2021 as the first featured player to be nominated.

Yang can next be seen in Wicked: For Good, coming to theaters later this year.
