Bowen Yang Brings ‘Oh Mary!’ To ‘SNL’ With Epic Musical Sketch

As Bowen Yang took a break from his Oh Mary! stint to return home to Studio 8H, he brought the first lady to Saturday Night Live.

On Saturday, the Tony nominee made a surprise appearance as Mary Todd Lincoln in the musical sketch “The Little Park of Horrors,” performing a parody of the Dreamgirls song “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going” about the MTA.

Mulaney played a horse-drawn carriage operator mourning NYC’s recent ban, “and for no reason at all, except animal cruelty and human murders.”

In the musical sketch, he introduces a series of characters, including Veronika Slowikowska as a woman still finishing the marathon, singing a parody of “Don’t Rain on My Parade.” Tommy Brennan plays a pedicab driver coming for Mulaney’s job with a duet take on “Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better).”

Mikey Day played a homeless man ranting about God, while Kenan Thompson played a cloud of weed smoke, backed by Sarah Sherman, Grace Reiter and Saidah Belo-Osagie in a rendition of Cats‘ “Mr. Mistoffelees.” James Austin Johnson played “Park Slope Cuck” singing his parody of “Maria” from West Side Story, entitled “Mamdani.”

Yang, who played Jensen Huang in the cold open, returned amid his stint in Cole Escola’s Oh Mary!, which has been extended to Jan. 17, 2027, due to popular demand.
