Steve Carell’s Words Inspired Bowen Yang To Abandon His Dream Of Being A Doctor

[@aggy5372]

"Sarah Palin, what a quaint time." Never did I think I would hear the day.

[@VerseauT-cm6tj]

Mr Bowen Yang, you’ve healed many hearts, minds, souls, and bodies by inspiring laughter and love!

[@rmtmiller]

Yeah, but he needs to chill when it comes to things like criticizing some host he unnamed that he dissed.

[@WXFD-Media]

The impressed look on Bowen’s face when Stephen completely breaks down his upcoming outfit in fashion textbook lingo 👏👏👏

[@MsShellectable]

I gotta admit, as someone who loves fashion, I was impressed too. Nobody expects a cool, funny, self-confessed nerdy guy like Stephen to be that into his clothes too.

[@b-dub6865]

To be fair, that was a bit. I’m sure he had no idea what he was wearing, but learned it for this interview to impress Bowen. Regardless, I love how Colbert gets to know his guests & asks thoughtful questions. He used to not be that way, unless they were religious or LOTR fans.

[@zenquantum1246]

@@b-dub6865 anything on stage can, of course, be rehearsed, but they came off very naturally. If it was a bit, it just goes to show how good both of them are as performers

[@b-dub6865]

@@zenquantum1246 Really? It felt like a bit to me & not natural for Colbert. When does he ever talk about fashion? Either his designer told him exactly what he was wearing, or the truth will come out at the Emmys when we see his suit.😉

[@NicoleAZ145]

Ok the fact that Stephen knows what grosgrain is and so confidently talks about fashion is making me love him even more.

[@SourLlama]

Ugh Bowen is so adorable he melts my heart and cracks me up at the same time 🥰

Bowen is hilarious. His Downton Abbey skit on Saturday night live cracks me up every time..

[@kathleenr4047]

It sounds funny. So I thought I'd look it up and I cannot find a single SNL video with Bowen Yang in a Bridgerton sketch. ---- if you've got a literal title or a date I can search, it would be much appreciated.

You're forgiven. We've all done a thing or two that we would want to be forgiven for.

No one can avoid all mistakes, we can just hope to learn from them.

Bowen Yang is my absolute favorite current SNL cast member. He’s hilarious, Loved seeing him here ❤️

[@Threecrazydogs63]

Mine too. When I see he’s in a skit I get so excited.

[@alisons9740]

Best line ever in the SNL Covid skit where four besties see the fortune teller. “You’re not friends anymore” “why??” “He ate at a restaurant” yang: “Oh my god, you guys - I do that!” 😂

[@LE-te9vx]

Bowen Yang is such a joy, I'm sure he would've made a great doctor but the world is richer to have him as a comedian!

[@MsShellectable]

Laughter being the best medicine, he reaches and heals more people this way!

[@kylehd7]

Bowen is the best part of SNL right now, and that's saying a lot!

[@NONONannette]

3! YES!

[@Lelffy]

The beginning of crazy being normal was the day McCain selected Palin. Great material for SNL, though! The Katie Couric interview with Palin saying she had national security experience because she could use binoculars to see Russia from her house and Katie’s lashes as she incredulously blinked. Good stuff for comedy.

[@elizabethhiebert1859]

@Lelffy. WOW!!! You are so right!!! Little did we know that our Hitchhikers' Guide to The Twilight Zone of politics had only just begun!!!

[@lisahbobisa]

I find Bowen to have just the most likeable energy in interviews

[@soijustlistenedto...]

"It was fine, I should have been admitted" 😂😂😂

[@RenataKleinRK]

Once again, no mention in the title of what order to watch these in. If you’re going to split up one interview into multiple videos because you want more clicks (lame!) can you at least indicate the order in which we should watch them? It’s so inconsiderate to your viewers, people complain about this all the time for years now, and yet still no change. We are still just blindly clicking around trying to find video one, video two, etc. Very inconsiderate!

[@Calmseagull]

They don’t care. The algorithm does not reward that type of clarity. If you want that type of linearity, watch this on whatever the channel’s streaming platform is or buy a tv. They will truly never listen to this request. It is time to give up. I’m sorry

[@cloudwatcher608]

It’s annoying but a mild inconvenience at best. Just click until you fine the one with Stephen sitting alone at his desk and that’s the first. They want more ad revenue so they aren’t going to fix it

[@KrakenIsland64]

Right? It's not enough that they upload these free clips that cost them thousands of dollars to film. They should do more free work for their least grateful audience members that aren't willing to pay a dime to see their content. The nerve!

[@gracielacasas-silva4099]

The video that is longer is usually the first one to watch 🥸🤓😎

[@dancollins6171]

Exactly, look for the longer clip and see if it has more views.

Not all doctors are helping the world medically, any more than all Hollywood actors are entertaining the masses or all lawyers are defending the rule of law ... I took the LSAT once and I know how those tests can make you feel. I am glad Bowen made the right choice and hope he wins his Emmy this time.

My theory about the fashion conversation: Evie's dress will be the star of the show, and his outfit - while dashing, I'm sure - will complement hers. (Not that he wouldn't care about his tux, but Evie is the queen, right? 🩷)
