Bowen Yang shares details of SNL cast's holiday garbage party tradition

Bowen Yang has shared details about the Saturday Night Live cast's holiday "garbage party." This tradition replaced the disappointing Secret Santa gift exchange, which often left some cast members unhappy. Instead of gifts, cast members contribute random items for a potluck-style celebration after the last read-through of the Christmas show. Contributions can include food, drinks, or quirky items. Yang noted that this party allows the cast to relax together, as it can be difficult to gather everyone for afterparties. The tradition was started by Aidy Bryant and Kate McKinnon.
