Bowen Yang Pulled A Wicked And Flew Straight From SNL To The Oscars, But I Can’t Get Over Him Busting Out A Miley Cyrus Lyric While Telling The Story

by

Bowen Yang is demonstrating time and again the significant impact he’s making in Hollywood, both on-screen and off. Lorne Michaels’ mandate for Yang to join Wicked necessitated a frequent trip from New York City to London and back, a routine he followed diligently. Post-Wicked, Yang voiced his delight at having had the experience, despite the challenging hours, but was relieved that his exhausting and frequent air travel was over. However, for The Oscars and Lady Gaga’s week at Studio 8H, he rekindled his old habit of traveling to far-off lands, which I could handle, but his reference to Miley Cyrus left me slightly puzzled.

The cast member of Saturday Night Live remains a shining star during the historic 2025 TV season. Not only has he become one of the most prominent figures on Saturday Night Live, but his transition into films has propelled him to even greater success. Last year’s release of “Wicked” and his upcoming movies in 2025 – “The Wedding Banquet” and “Wicked: For Good” – have kept him exceptionally busy. To top it all off, he maintains a popular podcast, “Las Culturistas,” with his best friend and co-host Matt Rogers. In an interview with ET (via its TikTok), he discussed his hectic NYC-LA commute for a major event, starting off by singing the classic LA Cyrus song.

To quote Miley Cyrus, I hopped off the plane at LAX at 9 a.m. So, here I am!

I’m not surprised that the actor from “Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens” came up with a memorable quip under pressure. His offhand yet incisive wit has undoubtedly played a significant role in the rapid ascent of his career.

Later, Yang explained that he didn’t board a private jet for the Oscars; instead, he is an ordinary traveler who prefers to travel mindfully, stating: “I simply took a regular flight, choosing to travel responsibly.

I’ve never been about luxury travel like a private jet, but that’s fine with me. I prefer being among the people. Sharing the impact on our environment through my carbon footprint is just part of life for me.

His response once more exhibits a touch of humor combined with sincerity and relatability, reinforcing his likable charm. This trait is likely one of the factors contributing to his strong connection with the Wicked cast, leading him to attend The Academy Awards with them. However, as The Monkey King alum’s fame continues to grow, he might need to modify this characteristic in the future.

Despite gaining widespread recognition, he hasn’t lost his fangirl feelings, as evident when… The actor from “The Garfield Movie” disclosed the reason behind his involvement in the Miley Cyrus song-themed weekend, and that was due to the upcoming performers and hosts like Lady Gaga. With the opportunity to have Lady Gaga, his personal dream guest, on his podcast through Peacock’s subscription streaming show, Yang is not going to miss a moment. He expressed with enthusiasm:

I absolutely can’t afford to skip any second of Lady Gaga’s two-day stint on SNL. I’d love to experience it from start to finish, every bit of it. In other words, I want to be there for the entire event – from beginning to end, without a moment’s break.

I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming weekend! Not only am I looking forward to watching the antics on the NBC show, but I’m also hoping that the actor from “Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld” might get a chance to catch up on some much-needed rest. Fingers crossed that their skit together won’t be as explosively popular as Yang’s unexpected Wicked meme! Only time will tell!

It’s reassuring to learn that Yang can manage an energetic, spontaneous journey when required. The thought that he can experience the exhilaration of “Party in the USA”-like excitement during his trips ranging from Saturday Night Live to the Oscars is delightful. Let’s cross our fingers for a prolonged stay in one location soon.
