[@usethis4511]

Bowen is such an amazing addition to SNL literally my favorite skits have been his & I know he’s been on it for some time now but everytime I watch his skits I’m always like “wow I can’t believe I’m watching SNL and enjoying it” so till that thought leaves me I’ll always credit his addition as the reason I’m enjoying SNL again

[@jonathanstiles7221]

He’s definitely getting better. His first year on the show, he was absolutely horrible and unfunny.

[@Ron-Ayres]

He's really grown as a performer. SNL has been a terrific incubator for him. I'm only sorry (in a way) that George Santos was convicted so soon, as Bowen played him brilliantly. Still, he now has JD Vance to get his teeth into! 😄

[@cicalinarrot]

Bowen is now in my personal SNL pantheon. Yep, I'm a BowenBitch now. He's spontaneously funny, plus he's ready to put himself and things he loves (his heritage, his sexuality, his passion for musicals, disney movies, romantic movies, 80s synth-pop...) in every single sketch, as if he's been waiting he's whole life to talk about all of that.

[@seansswamp]

@@radbostonwhat’s moulin rouge about?

[@azalago]

​@@seansswampA writer falls in love with the star performer at the Moulin Rouge cabaret in Paris, who also happens to be a convenient prostitute for the owner. Most of the film is the writer trying to be with her while the owner insists she sleep with some wealthy duke to secure funding. And at the same time they are rehearsing a new show that is similar in plot to the love triangle occuring between the writer, the performer, and the duke. And she's dying for some reason. All the musical numbers are mashups of popular songs. I think the first number when they go to the club is the Can Can song mixed with Smells Like Teen Spirit. I did NOT like it
