Bowen Yang put in a wild appearance on SNL's Weekend Update this week. He dressed up as Harry Potter’s Dobby The House Elf to talk about author JK Rowling and her recent back-and-forth with Emma Watson on trans rights. His elaborate make-up and costume were on point when he first came out, but unfortunately or perhaps fortunately given how funny it ended up being, his get-up did not exactly cooperate.
The outfit mishap occurred less than a minute after Weekend Update co-host Michael Che introduced him. In character as Dobby, he said his master JK Rowling sent him out to talk about trans people but then backpeddled and said he wasn’t supposed to say who his master was. He then began hitting his head on the desk when his tunic popped open. It took him a bit to realize what was happening, much to the audience’s amusement. You can check out the unexpected moment below…
