Typically, a celebrity as popular as Kim Kardashian has plenty of fans asking her to pose for photographs with them. Kardashian has been in the spotlight for such a long time, and she pretty much can’t go anywhere without hundreds of flashbulbs going off, to the point where it probably is a way of life for her by now.
As fans of the new Hulu show, The Kardashians, know, the reality star recently made an appearance as the host of Saturday Night Live. Millions of people tuned in to watch, but it was behind the scenes that something incredible happened. As it turns out, Bowen Yang had the sweetest reaction to Kim Kardashian asking him for a photo.

The opportunities keep getting bigger for Kardashian, and this was one that she was certainly proud of. According to Entertainment Weekly, the mom of four hosted season 47, episode 2, and it was a huge hit. In what was her first appearance on the show, Kardashian did a great job keeping things upbeat, making humorous references to herself and her famous family.
Dressed in an all-pink velvet ensemble, the dark-haired beauty walked onstage, and told everyone, “I know, I’m surprised to see me here too.” She went on to say how excited she was, and her monologue included jokes about her late father, attorney Robert Kardashian, as well as the infamous OJ Simpson murder trial, and how her mom, Kris Jenner, creatively gave everyone in the family a name that starts with the letter ‘K’. Kardashian even spoke about politics a bit, joking about her family and their political endeavors.
So, did the star do any scenes with SNL performer Bowen Yang? As it turns out, yes. There was an Aladdin-themed sketch that featured Pete Davidson, Kardashian, and Bowen, as well as a Costco-loving pop band sketch that didn’t make the final cut.
