Bowen Yang holds hands with Chappell Roan through “Saturday Night Live” goodnights after previous fan drama

Earlier this season, the "SNL" star defended his Moo Deng sketch after it was misinterpreted as a jab at the "Pink Pony Club" singer.

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

Although the Saturday Night Live star didn't share any stage time with this week's musical guest during the live show, the pair looked thick as thieves throughout the goodnights 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 on the season 50 premiere, when Yang hit the "Weekend Update" desk dressed as the viral Moo Deng and bemoaned the baby hippo's sudden rise to fame, saying he felt overwhelmed after "going nonstop" for weeks and that he needed to set some boundaries. Following the comedy piece, some of Roan's fans called the comedian out for "mocking" the new pop sensation, who'd made similar comments about needing to protect her mental health from an overbooked schedule and invasive fans.

The backlash prompted the Wicked star to jump on Instagram to clarify that the sketch was meant to show support for the "Good Luck, Babe" singer. "If my personal stance and the piece aren't absolutely clear in terms of supporting her, then there it is I guess," Yang said. "Everything she has ever asked for has been reasonable, and even then we can connect it to another story about boundaries or whatever."

After skyrocketing to mainstream attention in the year since the September 2023 release of her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, Roan made her SNL debut on 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 winky country bop about being able to please a woman better than a man.

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

"If you're still asking, 'Well, if you didn't want this to happen, then 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 do not accept are creepy people, being touched, and being followed."

That same month, Interview magazine ran a conversation between Roan and Yang in which they shared praise for one another.

"I f---ing love you. I know we don't know each other that well, but I'm following you for the rest of time. You're incredible," the Emmy-nominated SNL star told Roan. She replied, "Thank you. A lot of people only take me seriously because people like you validate that I'm important. So I'm very grateful that you've enthusiastically supported me, in a fun way."
