Saturday Night Live

Bowen was a huge fan of Saturday Night Live as a kid. He used to know all the updates and news regarding the show but he had never pictured himself in the show because he had never seen any diverse faces in the cast.

Even when he aspired to be a doctor, he never stopped doing improv and stand up comedy. As fate would have it, he was hired as a writer for Saturday Night Live in 2018.
