Tik Tok/@alysonrosef/Instagram/@mvrykv_ Now cast member Bowen Yang seemed to have it in the bag, because he said he's gay and presumably was not tempted to cross the line. But a certain singer changed all that. Heartbreaking but hilarious losses. … [Read more...] about ‘SNL’ Spoofs Adam Levine, Armie Hammer in DM Game Show Skit
