Yang spoke to THR as he picketed for the strike in New York on May 3 alongside fellow WGA members. The "SNL" cast member, who's also a member of the SAG-AFTRA, said he felt for "the new cast and the new writers who started out [on 'SNL' this season] — they didn't get a chance to ring in the end of their first season, which is always a big milestone."
He added, "I feel very lucky that I'm intersecting in both those things," referring to being part of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA. "A lot of people in the industry are members of multiple guilds, and I think it's important that we show some solidarity as we can among the unions — especially since they're also negotiating with the alliance."
