Bowen Yang speaks out after Heidi Gardner's surprising 'SNL' exit: "A true anchor on that show"
Bowen: "You [Heidi] are one of the greats. You will go down in history." The Wicked actor went on to recall some of his favorite memories of his former colleague, noting that she was one of the cast members whom the SNL team trusted the most to write quality sketches on her own. "It's always a very, very vulnerable thing as a cast member to put only your name on it. But anytime you saw just 'Gardner,' you knew you were in good hands. She would take it upon herself to write pieces for other cast." Yang explained that Gardner once wrote a "Weekend Update" segment for Punkie Johnson, who departed the show in 2024. "It was one of the most beautiful, kindest gestures I've ever seen at that show, and her heart was so big, and clearly so f‑‑‑ing funny. A true anchor on that show." The comedian also said that Gardner helped the cast and crew lift their spirits during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. "[She was] one of the first people who was just like, 'Okay, just to get through this, let's just each wake up, no rush, there's no time limit — let's just each text each other every day, something that made us smile today. And that was this foothold that I had emotionally in terms of knowing we were just sharing music and — just a truly beautiful person." More on reddit.com
