SNL’s Bowen Yang Unleashes Chaos; Calls JD Vance A ‘Pope Killer’ On ‘The View’

SNL star Bowen Yang shocked The View audience by jokingly calling Vice President JD Vance a “Pope Killer,” referencing Pope Francis’ sudden death just hours after meeting Vance on Easter. Yang, who was on the show to promote The Wedding Banquet, ended up diving into politics, revealing he almost turned down playing Vance on SNL due to impostor syndrome and the challenge of nailing an Ohio-Appalachian accent. While the co-hosts applauded his performance, it was the edgy “Pope Killer” punchline that stole the show. Whoopi Goldberg broke into laughter, hiding her face and saying, “Somebody had to say it!” The moment instantly exploded online, with memes flooding social media linking JD Vance to the Pope’s death.
