The famous “Iceberg’ that sunk the Titanic back in the early 1900s made an appearance on Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” with Colin Jost.
Not only the iceberg character is gaining some buzz on social media, but also the actor that played him. Bowen Yang is getting world-renown for his “amazing yet hilarious” performance.

During the skit, the “Iceberg” wanted to discuss his latest album, but Jost wanted to discuss why he was on the same path as the Titanic. Yang as “Iceberg” kept blaming the ocean for the disaster that killed 1,500 people.

#BowenYang as the Iceberg that Sank the Titanic — hilarious. Why is he only a featured player on @nbcsnl ? He deserves to be a full-time cast member!#iceberg #WhatACostume #bowen #snl

"These are not the questions we discussed. I think my publicist was very clear, I'm NOT here to talk about the sinking. I'm here to promote my album. A hyper pop media new disco fantasia."
