this person, this host, made multiple cast members cry on Wednesday, before the table read,&#8221; Yang explained, adding that it was because the unnamed host &#8220;hated the ideas.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yang &#8212; who has been a cast member on the show since September 2018 &#8212; said the experience was &#8220;terrible.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yang recently made headlines, and faced some criticism, when he said <\/span><em><span>Saturday Night Live<\/span><\/em><span> is the &#8220;cringiest thing in show business,&#8221; during an episode of his podcast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>During an episode posted in July, Yang and Rogers were discussing the importance of dealing with cringey situations while pursuing your career goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;You have to sometimes climb up a huge hill of cringe,&#8221; Rogers shared. &#8220;And once you can scale that hill &#8212; which might be your judgment of yourself, on what you&#8217;re doing, it might be everyone saying what you&#8217;re doing is cringe &#8212; on the other end, you slide down into happiness and nirvana.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;B**ch, I know about working through cringe, climbing a cringe mountain,&#8221; Yang replied. &#8220;I work at <\/span><em><span>Saturday<\/span><\/em><span> f**king <\/span><em><span>Night Live<\/span><\/em><span>, the cringiest thing in show business on every level&#8230;
