Bowen Yang Pens Heartfelt 'Goodbye' to 'SNL'
Bowen Yang has confirmed his exit from "Saturday Night Live."
The actor and comedian shared a sentimental "goodbye" to NBC's hit sketch series on Instagram Saturday ... about a day after his exit was first reported. He gushed over his time in the show, penning ... "I loved working at SNL, and most of all i loved the people. i was there at a time when many things in the world started to seem futile, but working at 30 rock taught me the value in showing up anyway when people make it worthwhile."
Bowen goes on to reflect on how much he has learned about himself and others during his 7-year run on the show. He then personally thanks all the friends and coworkers who have contributed to his successful run -- and even "ari" -- who we assume is Ariana Grande, considering she's pictured in his post -- "for sending [him] off in the dreamiest way [he] could imagine."

Luigi Mangione To Pam Bondi You Have A Conflict Of Interest ... Kill The Death Penalty!!!

Exclusive

Luigi Mangione says he now knows the real reason why Attorney General Pam Bondi is seeking the death penalty against him ... she allegedly has deep ties to the murder victim's health care company.
Mangione's defense attorneys filed court docs Friday night outlining their new claims against Bondi to get the death penalty tossed from the federal case. Federal prosecutors charged Mangione with stalking and murder through use of firearm in connection with the 2024 fatal shooting of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson.
Bondi then issued a statement directing prosecutors to seek the death penalty. State prosecutors have also charged Mangione with murder and possession of a weapon in a separate case.
In the latest defense filing, Luigi's lawyers claim Bondi was a partner at the lobbying firm Ballard Partners before she became attorney general, and the company lists UnitedHealth Group (UHG) as a client.
As a result, Bondi derives and continues to receive personal and financial benefits from Ballard "in the form of a profit-sharing plan from Ballard's professional association with UHG," according to the court docs.
Mike Campbell Dead at 61 Former Mariners Pitcher, 1st-Round Draft Pick
Mike Campbell -- former Seattle Mariners pitcher and 1st-round draft pick -- has died.
The team announced the sad news on social media, saying ... "We are saddened by the passing of Seattle native and former Mariners pitcher Mike Campbell. Our hearts go out to his family and loved ones." He reportedly died Monday at his home in Kirkland, Washington. His cause of death is still pending.
Campbell made his major-league debut in 1987 after the Mariners brought him on as their No. 1 draft pick. He pitched for them for parts of the next 3 seasons, but was then traded to the Montreal Expos as part of the deal to bring on Hall of Famer Randy Johnson to the team.
Jake Paul My Jaw is Broken ... But I'm Ready to Take on Canelo!
Jake Paul might have a broken jaw -- but he's already looking for his next fight ... seemingly summoning Canelo Alvarez to the ring after being KO'd by Anthony Joshua Friday night.
Check it out -- the YouTuber turned pro boxer confirmed he's got a double fracture in his jaw from Joshua's punch .... even posting his X-ray to prove it. In the same breath, he stunningly hinted at a match against Alvarez, captioning the pic ... "Double broken jaw. Give me Canelo in 10 days."
Clearly, Paul's not too worried about healing. He even poked fun at the matter from the hospital bed by lip-synching to audio saying ... "I'm a little f***ed up but will you take care of me forever and ever?" His brother, Logan Paul, hopped in on the fun as he stood seriously beside Jake's bed.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
We told you all about the fight in Miami -- it was a pretty sloppy face-off, mostly controlled by Joshua, especially in the later rounds. Jake was dropped by Joshua 4 times, finishing him off with several shots in the 6th round.
While Jake's mouth was covered in blood from the brutal beat-up... there was no bad blood between the pair, who were seen hugging it out after Jake could get back on his feet post-defeat.

Jake Paul Knocked Out!!! ... Anthony Joshua Wins
It took six rounds, but Anthony Joshua did what the boxing world expected ... knocking Jake Paul out in their boxing match on Friday!
The fight in Miami, which was often sloppy, was mostly controlled by Joshua, especially in the later rounds.
Early, however, Paul frustrated AJ with his constant movement, making it difficult for Joshua to land any significant shots.
But, as the fight progressed, Jake seemed to tire, and Anthony got in a rhythm before punishing Paul in the fifth, dropping him twice.
To The Problem Child's credit, he got off the canvas on both occasions.
ANTHONY JOSHUA JUST KNOCKED OUT JAKE PAUL IN ROUND 6!!!! #JakeJoshuapic.twitter.com/HfbrkBBCLq
— Championship Rounds (@ChampRDS) December 20, 2025 @ChampRDS
In the sixth, Paul, still feeling the effects from the previous round, once again went down, but this time couldn't beat the count.
Fight over.
Post fight, Jake and AJ, as they were for most of the lead-up to the highly anticipated event, were both cordial, embracing each other.
Joshua, who previously told us he needed to knock Paul out to truly be victorious, admitted it wasn't his best performance after the fight, but said he accomplished his goal in hurting JP.
To AJ's point, Jake said he broke his jaw during the fight.
Despite the L and the injury, Jake said he had a blast.
"I'm feeling good. That was fun. I love this sport," El Gallo said from the center of the ring, adding that Anthony is a "great fighter," and that he "got his ass beat."
Of course, aside from the big difference in experience, Jake was also the smaller man inside the squared circle.
Joshua came into the fight at 6'4", 243.4 pounds with an 82" wingspan ... with Paul measuring in at 6'1", 216.6 pounds, with a 76" wingspan.
Before any punches were thrown, Paul paid tribute to the late Hulk Hogan with his fight night 'fit ... wearing red and yellow trunks, sunglasses and playing a brief snippet of "Real American," the WWE legend's theme song, before ultimately bringing out Tekashi 6ix9ine to perform his rowdy song, "BILLY."
Both boxers took the fight on short notice -- Joshua stepped in after Paul's bout with Gervonta Davis was scrapped over Tank's recent domestic violence allegations.
Joshua, 36, is a former two-time unified heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist with a 29-4 record, and according to his comments after the bout, will now look to set up a mega fight against Tyson Fury.
28-year-old Paul now drops to 12-2 in his pro boxing career.
As fans of his will know, Jake says he has no plans to stop fighting, once again predicting he will be world champion.

In between the men is a tray of food and drink and a bunch of magazines spread out across some ottomans.
There is nothing risqué or questionable going on ... and no one else is in the photos.
