Saturday evening live star Bowen Yang channeled pop singer Chappell Roan in a skit playing the internet’s favorite pygmy hippo, Moo Deng.

In recent weeks the animal, which resides at Thailand’s Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi, has become a viral sensation thanks to her moody nature and often unhinged behavior.

Popular clips show the two-month-old baby, whose name means “bouncy pork”, harassing her caregivers and her mother by hitting them with her head. She famously hates baths.

However, the zoo has now been forced to put up warning signs in Thai, English and Chinese, asking visitors not to splash water or throw objects at her to provoke the behavior they saw online.

In the first episode of SNL’S In the milestone 50th season, cast member Yang dressed up in an elaborate Moo Deng costume when he appeared on co-star Colin Jost’s “Weekend Update” segment to speak his truth.

“I’ve been busy non-stop for the past ten weeks,” the exhausted pygmy hippo began. “Running around, eating lettuce, trying to bite the water out of a hose.”

“The response has been overwhelming,” he continued. “But it’s gotten to the point where I have to set some boundaries.”

Roan has made headlines over the past month for her comments about apparently “entitled” and “creepy” fans who she claimed were stalking and harassing her.

The pop singer, who shot to fame this year with hits like “Good Luck, Babe!” and ‘Hot to Go!’ and “Pink Pony Club,” shared a number of TikToks discussing her newfound success and telling fans that it didn’t warrant pushy behavior toward her.

“Reminder: WOMEN OWE YOU NOTHING,” Yang/Moo Deng further said SNL. “If I’m in my enclosure, tripping over things, biting my trainer’s knee, I’m working. That’s the project. Don’t shout my name and expect a photo just because I’m your parasocial best buddy or because you appreciate my talent.

“What is your talent?” Jost wondered.

“With a smooth body that bounces,” Yang/Moo Deng replied.

He cited the famous hippos who came before him, including the Hungry Hungry Hippos and Jada Pinkett Smith’s character in the animated film. Madagascar.

“Now I’m your favorite hippo’s favorite hippo,” he said, parodying the Google search result for Roan.

Jost noted that Moo Deng’s life was much like Roan’s: “Do you know (her)?”

“I’m ten weeks old, Colin, of course I know Chappell Roan,” Moo Deng replied. “By the way, leave her alone. Let her take as much time as she needs for her mental health… that’s what society does. It puts young women on a pedestal, only to tear them down with shellfish.”

Moo Deng then announced that she would not make a statement of support in the presidential election, again a reference to Roan, who caused many reactions with her election comments last week.
