I can't stop watching this clip. His version of the Capote voice is infectious, and funny as hell. For the love of God, please bring him back ASAP. Let him spin those yarns from time to time...
@@FungusMossGnosis well then please tell me where on this earth you can find modern 2024 comedy on Truman capote then. Ow wait there is non. Get. A. Life.
@@marilugonzalez7242 A couple of things: SNL is not a sitcom. And Bowen Yang is NOT funny. He doesn't have any good impressions. He talks in the same effeminate gay voice no matter what character he is playing. He is a clear DEI hire.
It’s more amusing considering Bowen was downplaying Capote’s voice and mannerisms - this was a subtle Capote impression. Real Capote was far more, um, Capote-esque.
I mean, I think the voice was fine. Bowen’s strength isn’t in impressions, it’s in his writing, which was great here. Most people aren’t expecting an exact replica bc most ppl barely know who TC was, and they only even know _that_ much bc they saw some of “Capote” on hbo 10 years ago. Also I’d hate to have my version of a thing compared to the version Phillip Seymour Hoffman did. It’s a really hard voice to do I bet, but I agree PSH, as he did most things, totally nailed it. RIP PSH!
@@stevehansen7895 I am a fan of Bowen Yang but I definitely wish he could perform straight roles better. Scott Thompson from "Kids in the Hall" could believably play the most ridiculously flamboyant man on the planet to the most rugged
@@paulwillard81 I don't watch a lot of TV shows. So I've only seen a few shows of each season. The show this week was great, less boundaries because of the host.
Bowen and Colin have Seth Myers and Bill Hader level chemistry on Update. They play off each other really well and Bowen just seems to love making Colin laugh and vice-versa
Don’t eat-and especially drink-while watching this! I haven’t watched anything else from this week yet, but I feel like I’ve started at the pinnacle-Bowen is hilarious!
Bowen is going to be a huge star .. range .. funny .. good person . To think his first on air appearance was as Kim Jon Ung in 2018/2019 .. I don’t think he had any words
Just watched it today……. An all time favorite of mine. I quote this movie more than anyone should , but it just seems to work its way into my life. Correct! Two two Twain’s house.
After the Fran Leibowitz impression this is one of my favorites. Definitely the highlight of an otherwise boring episode. And Che has the most natural reactions to Bowen's humour.
"You're Gloria Vanderbilts son right?
No that's Andersen Cooper.
Then why the hell am I here"
The most Truman Capote thing in this 😂
And Gloria hated him
@@senoj.rednaxelaTruman or her son?
"Aren't I allowed to spin a yarn from time to time, Colin?" 🥺
"It's like the French say; jeans me sepetapute!"
That line didn’t get enough laughs.

Please make Capote a recurring character! This was brilliant!
Yes
You people would call dogshit caviar if it came on the right plate.

“Then what the hell am I doing here?” 😂😂
Bowen works his moments.
best joke of the skit.
Really one of his best bits.
Perfect timing.
Great Butch of the Sky
I never expected such fluent French from Bowen. Beautiful phrase.
He lived in Canada as a kid!
@@laundryweatherIn the 'Drakewatch' sketch, only Bowen was doing a Quebecois accent while everyone else was doing a French one
What did he say in French?
@@RaymondHng Soo la Voo
@@RaymondHng - "women are like kombucha - full of yeast and technically alive"
We do not talk enough about the talent, versatility, and grandeur that is Bowen Yang!
Michael Che being unable to contain his giggles in the background is everything.
I fell for Bowen when he played iceberg that took down titanic
Same. ❤❤❤
That was epic!
That's a top 5 greatest weekend update character right there.
Totally same here!
THAT WASN'T WHAT HE WAS THERE TO TALK ABOUT!
“Filled with yeast and technically alive”💀💀
That’s me lol
Stop revealing women's secrets!!!
He's cultural appropriating white people! We are not a costume we are people!
Bowen is funny af 😂
🤣💯best line🤣😭😂
When Bowen appears on Weekend Update, you know you're in for a good time!
*When Bowen appears, you know you're in for a good time!
cool, but who's truman capote?
Ehhh... He's hit or miss. More hits than misses, lately. He's winning me over!
You have stunningly low standards. Yang das less than zero talent. 20 years ago, gaying it up might have been funny but the world is past that
@Antwannnn Yes. You are absolutely right. He is a hilarious actor, and I hope he stays for long time in SNL. 🤗👏🤗😂😂🙏😂 3:50
A whole month later i am still coming back to this!!!!!😅
Bowen Yang is a hilarious and fenomal actor in SNL. I love everything he does in that great sitcom of SNL. He is fantastic. 😂😂😂👏👏👏🙏🤗😍

That kombucha line cracked me up 🤣
Michael Che laughing in the background makes this even funnier
Wait how can you tell Che there lol
@@christopherporter2459because you can hear him
@@christopherporter2459 You can hear in the background and he speaks at the end 😒
@@DC-pp8xfYes. You are absolutely right..😂😂😂
You can hear Che in the background laughing through the whole thing.
he probably wrote it
Bowen looks like Yoko Ono dressed up like that 😳.
I was just about to say the same thing! Total Yoko Ono vibes.
😂😂😂😂😂
My first thought
It’s more amusing considering Bowen was downplaying Capote’s voice and mannerisms - this was a subtle Capote impression. Real Capote was far more, um, Capote-esque.
He is brilliant as Truman Capote. Love this so much. More please ‼️
Omg please do a Truman and Dr Henry Gate's "Find Your Roots" sketch... where he discovers ______more gnarly stuff..
Nice! I was just thinking why there isn't a Finding Your Roots parody already
The voice might actually not have been flamboyant enough for an accurate Capote
Philip Seymour Hoffman nailed the voice
Yeah, kind of lazy (like most of the modern cast impressions).
I am shocked Bowen didn't get the voice right...there are tons of lengthy Capote interviews online.
I mean, I think the voice was fine. Bowen’s strength isn’t in impressions, it’s in his writing, which was great here. Most people aren’t expecting an exact replica bc most ppl barely know who TC was, and they only even know _that_ much bc they saw some of “Capote” on hbo 10 years ago.

Yoko Ono?
Michael is dying off to the side. You can hear him laugh the loudest.
Amelia Earhart: "The great butch of the sky". 😂
I love Michael Che laughing in the background
This needs to be a recurring segment. I can watch Bowen "Truman Capote" Yang trash-talk historical figures all day long.
Agree💯
He's cultural appropriating white people! We are not a costume we are people!
They all must be wearing hats! 👒 🎩🧢😂
Yes! I missed Jebediah Atkinson's zingers
You're easily entertained by really bad "comedy".
"Look at that haaat."
Bowen's got range as far as playing flamboyant goes, he's got all the colors of the rainbow in his crayola box.
And Truman Capote is as flamboyant as they come.
He made Andy Warhol look like a stone-cold butch.
Oh, yeah, a gay man playing an even gayer man. Wow, what range (yawn)
Range like Joe Piscapo had range.
@@stevehansen7895 I am a fan of Bowen Yang but I definitely wish he could perform straight roles better. Scott Thompson from "Kids in the Hall" could believably play the most ridiculously flamboyant man on the planet to the most rugged
Bowen is the weakest link in an extremely weak chain
as someone who took french for 4 years, i can confirm that mr. capote’s french is perfect. 10/10, no notes.
Those four years must have made you an undisputed authority on the subject.
What did he say in French?
@@RaymondHng it was a joke, he said gibberish
Truman Capote is about to be the next Stefon 😭
Bowen Yang killing it as Truman Capote!!!❤❤
If this is a commentary on the not so subtle misogyny of gay men, this is brilliant.
This is a commentary on the misogyny of truman capote. Gay men are not a monolith!
This guy is hilarious. Took me a few shows to appreciate his talent. He's in a lot of skits.
he's also been on the show for 5 years, mate. where you been?
@@paulwillard81 I don't watch a lot of TV shows. So I've only seen a few shows of each season. The show this week was great, less boundaries because of the host.
Bowen Young is a national treasure.
And he is amazing.
Well, there’s definitely no better person suited to play the same flamboyant gay man in every. Single. Sketch.
@@VideoAmericanStyle😂😂😂😂
Bowen Yang cracking up kills me one of the best episodes of SNL some of the best skits I've seen this season so far
The writing on this was ace!
once again, bowen knocks it outta the park.
😹😹😹😹😹 5/5 snickering kitty-catties
I hope this is a recurring character, absolutely brilliant, Bowen!
The great butch of the sky 😂😂😂 hilarious
One of funniest bits I've ever seen.
Bowen is amazing 🎉🎉
felt like some of that was also coming from Bowen! 😂 love it when they crack Colin up
This is one of the funniest characters ever on this show 😂😂😂
Bowen and Colin have Seth Myers and Bill Hader level chemistry on Update. They play off each other really well and Bowen just seems to love making Colin laugh and vice-versa
That is a garish insult to Stefon and Seth’s love
If you have ever seen an interview with Truman Capote, you would know how perfect Bowen Yang portrayed him.
I love Bowen more and more with each show ❤
👍👍👍
Don’t eat-and especially drink-while watching this! I haven’t watched anything else from this week yet, but I feel like I’ve started at the pinnacle-Bowen is hilarious!
Unfortunately I think you have aside from Ego as the Jamaican pastor
@@MrandMrsBullock, seconded
I did
OMG 😂 The French bit made me laugh to tears 😂😂😂
I am in love with this man 😂
"Women are like Kombucha. They are full of yeast and technically alive." Hah! : )
The Yoko Ono look.
@youngThrashbarg - Actually, the Truman Capote look.
😱Ono you didn't!!🤣😭😂
@@MossyMozartOno the big rip off
Oh no the Ono
Bowen is going to be a huge star .. range .. funny .. good person . To think his first on air appearance was as Kim Jon Ung in 2018/2019 .. I don’t think he had any words
He did, but they were in Korean, with Sandra Oh translating.
Oh i was so hoping there would be a sketch about that show. I love Bowen!! "They are full of yeast and they are technically aliiive.." LOL!!
Bowen is hilarious 😂
Bowen brings them big laughs always 24/7!!💙💙💙💗💗💗🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💙💙
Bowen never disappoints ❤❤❤
Okay this was funny and wonderfully delivered. Need more of this Lorne
Shaddup.
Goddammit this dude is so fucking funny!!!!
please bring back bowen’s capote for a mother’s day bit on weekend update!
Bowen Yang is my fave on SNL ❤
He is garbage.
"Cept the a.. of a man.." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He saw the HR sketch.
Bowen Yang being insane and discovering his id on the show is always a pleasure.
Bowen 😂. I bruised some ribs laughing
Imagine being a classically trained professional violinist, singer and ballerina... performing to that.
DUDE'S BASIC.
I can't stop watching this 😂 so so funny
the crossover between las cultch and snl is becoming too amazing for me to handle
Bowen’s (and whomever else’s) writing here is incredible
This feels very true to early SNL. The vibe is classic.
Kicked him with her big lesbian feet!! Absolutely crying!!😂😂😂
Now I must go watch "Murder By Death."
Such a great movie. Still holds up today.
Just watched it today……. An all time favorite of mine. I quote this movie more than anyone should , but it just seems to work its way into my life.
Correct! Two two Twain’s house.
Thought the same
The greatest weekend show on earth. Unlimited talents and extremely funny! 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾👏🏾🤭😂😅🤣😆
Bowen is just so good.
He looks a bit like Yoko Ono.
Bowen Yang’s Capote my be the funniest “historical”
side character on Weekend Update since Jebidiah Atkinson
Dang! Bowen Yang has given Tom Hollander a run for his money! Ooh, look at that hat! 😂
Dude is funny as hell🤣. Reminds me of some family members of mine lol
Excellent Truman Capote by Bowen. I'm wondering if most of the audience could appreciate the spot-on impersonation!
Nope, they probably have no idea who Truman Capote is...
only a discerning genius such as yourself would
@@gerrydooley951 Why thank you Snarky Snarkington!
Doesn't matter. Hopefully they will look him up. Find out that he's the basis for Dill in To Kill a Mockingbird and improve that book.
such a brilliant Capote lol
Oh! The writing! So sharp and intelligent!
Bowen is unbelievable 😂😂😂 love it
Bowen nails it every time! 😂😂😂😂
You're Gloria Vanderbilt's son right? No, that's Anderson Cooper. Then why the hell am I here?
This is the dress rehearsal version. I have the live show version and some of the lines are different.
Wait what?
Oh cool! What were some of the different lines?
The subtitles are different too, maybe those are the lines he changed?
Bowen Yang makes me cackle in everything they do!
Bowen is so talented and hilarious in this character. I hope to see him play Truman Capote again. 😂
Why don't you post FULL EPISODES on RUclips?
Bowen you are such a brilliant bundle of talent ❤🎉😂
After the Fran Leibowitz impression this is one of my favorites. Definitely the highlight of an otherwise boring episode. And Che has the most natural reactions to Bowen's humour.
Bowen does an amazing Capote. This really made me laugh.
He's cultural appropriating white people! We are not a costume we are people!
Terrific! Great job Bowen.
i need him to come back. i need him to also have a podcast or narrate an audiobook, these vocal affectations are cracking me up
Che really loved this one lol.
Feel like Yang has come into his own between this and his Jafar from Aladdin.
😂😂😂😂😂 i love him he does every charactor so good❤❤❤❤
Bowen Yang could wear the same outfit to impersonate Yoko. Including the glasses.
bowen is priceless
I need more of Bowen as Capote, thanks.
This is amazing... so many deep cuts... for those, who know...
Wow, Truman Capote is BACK!! Wouldn't he have loved it? This was great - loved it!
Instant classic. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇬🇧
