Jordan Moreau Bowen Yang starred as Tian Tian, a giant panda from China who interrupted an awkward Joe Biden press conference, in the “Saturday Night Live” cold open. As Mikey Day’s Biden was getting grilled at a press conference about his recent meeting with China’s president Xi Jinping, response to the Israel-Palestine conflict and the border crisis, Tian Tian jumped in to save the day.

I think people are likin’ the panda!” “As the rare person who identifies as Black, white and Chinese,” Yang’s Tian Tian said he was in the unique position to unite many people from around the world, “just like another hot Blasian, Tiger Woods.” Jason Momoa is hosting the latest “Saturday Night Live” ahead of his new DC movie, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” which is swimming to theaters on Dec.
