It’s fine, it’s cool. Bowen Yang and Chappell Roan want you to know the truth.

Although the Saturday evening live The star didn’t share stage time with this week’s musical guest during the live show, with the pair looking as thick as thieves during the goodnight exchange at the end of Saturday’s episode. They held hands as host John Mulaney thanked all of the week’s guests before sharing a lengthy embrace as the credits rolled — officially putting to rest any lingering fan-created drama between them.

It all started in the season 50 premiere, when Yang went to the ‘Weekend Update’ desk dressed as the viral Moo Deng and complained about the sudden appearance of the baby hippo. He said he felt overwhelmed after living “non-stop” for weeks and needed to do that. set some boundaries. After the comedy bit, some of Roan’s fans called out the comedian for “mocking” the new pop sensation, who had made similar comments about the need to protect her mental health from an overbooked schedule and invasive fans.

The backlash led to the Bad star to hop on Instagram to clarify that the skit was meant to show support for the “Good Luck, Babe” singer. “If my personal position and the piece aren’t absolutely clear in terms of support for her, then I guess there it is,” Yang said. “Everything she’s ever asked for has been reasonable, and even then we can relate it to another story about boundaries or whatever.”

After rocketing to mainstream attention in the year since the release of her debut album in September 2023, The Rise and Fall of a Midwestern Princess, Roan made her SNL debut in the season 50 episode. The singer, known for her drag-inspired campy aesthetic and powerful vocals, performed “Pink Pony Club,” a synth-pop ode to queer nightlife, and debuted a new song, “The Giver’, a lively country bop about being able to please a woman better than a man.

Earlier this year, the singer-songwriter called out toxic fans for intruding into her personal life.

“If you’re still asking, ‘If you didn’t want this to happen, why did you choose a career where you knew you wouldn’t be comfortable with the outcome of success?’ – understand this: I embrace the success of the project, the love I feel and the gratitude I have,” she said on Instagram in August “What I don’t accept are creepy people, being touched and being followed.”

That same month, Interview magazine had a conversation between Roan and Yang in which they praised each other.

“I fucking love you. I know we don’t know each other that well, but I’m rooting for you the rest of the time. You’re incredible,” the Emmy nominee said SNL the star told Roan. She replied, “Thank you. Many people only take me seriously because people like you recognize that I am important. So I am very grateful that you supported me enthusiastically and in a fun way.’
