" I HAD to kick him in the groin - that's where his nuts at" Impeccable logic right there - I'll need to remember that one

[@leshrac369]

Making him say "George but I do have a perfect body" Was the best bit in that whole scene. He just..couldnt keep it together.

[@szn1580]

Lmao

[@6xthprophetbanger154]

No one can convince me that Devon Walker is not a black Pete Davidson. He looks just like him. It’s like the directors of tropic thunder booked Pete Davidson to play a black dude on SNL

[@EC-dz3fb]

Agreed!

[@igorschmidlapp6987]

Bowen had to be so pissed that Santos said that he's not running for re-election (hoping that will keep him from getting kicked out). Steady camera time down the drain... ;-)

[@SSCXIII]

They're getting better every week. And they are already the best in comedy. SNL

I am almost sad that he’ll be out of Congress soon, but I hope Bowen will still have opportunities to do Santos skits.

This is the kind of parody that ultimately leads to a VH1 Behind the Music expose where the band says, "...and that's when we realized we had become a punch line. We broke up a week later." I will not be sad about it.

Bowen is a blessing to this cast.

[@user-ib7ug4qo3v]

He's playing the same generic obnoxious gay character, yet he breaks in every sketch anyway. hes the definition of mediocrity. You're obligated to praise him because you like boys.

Remember Lizards may also be the name of a kids math centric show on Netflix.

[@jessetorres8738]

4:19. Probably the best casting choice Saturday Night Live has made in the past few years is having Bowen portray Santos. It almost makes me want Santos to remain in Congress, until I remember how deplorable Santos is & am glad he's leaving.

[@s.pottedjackal]

He's pretty funny as a form of satire, though, highlighting the creepy capers so many of his colleagues are up to. Although I owe that sentiment primarily to Bowen ...

[@brendatomlinson]

My view of Bowen has gone from Meh in his first season to my absolute favorite the past few years. The Santos impression is perfection, and that Chinese balloon became one of my all-time fave skits, and I’ve watched SNL since season 1!

[@ichijofestival2576]

Having Bowen *at all* was an amazing casting choice. Bar-none, my favorite cast member. Possibly ever.
