Bowen Yang is clearly a man of many talents.

Alongside his work on Saturday Night Live and his upcoming role in Wicked, it turns out another of Yang's talents is handling very spicy wings with minimal concern. In the Hot Ones episode above the star chats to host Sean Evans about standout filming moments from Wicked, his first ever conversation with Lorne Michaels, and favourite sketches he's pitched to celebrity guests on SNL, all while chomping through sweltering wings and keeping an impressive poker face.
