Yang’s high school calculus teacher, Adrian Holguin, was also his coach for Smoky Hill High School’s improvisational comedy group, Spontaneous Combustion. Holguin noted that Yang was not only “very smart”, but also “had the ability to see things from an alternative perspective.” Yang cites Holguin’s coaching influence’s “helping him craft his comedic sensibilities,” while his former teacher says he stressed that all his improv students should develop “characterization and honest reactions” in their works. Yang graduated from Smoky Hill High School in 2008 where he was voted “Most Likely to Be a Cast Member on Saturday Night Live” in the yearbook superlatives. When he was seventeen, Yang’s father found out Bowen was gay from an “open chat window” on the family’s computer. His parents were not receptive to the news, stating that such things did not happen in China. Bowen’s father cried often over the revelation and being non-religious but wanting to “solve problems”, arranged for him to attend eight sessions of gay conversion therapy, a disreputable practice increasingly outlawed for minors in the U.S. that purports to change one’s sexuality from gay to straight. Bowen attended the conversion therapy to appease his parents, and recalls being immediately alarmed by the counselor’s mix of religion and use of pseudo-scientific reasoning to explain away positive homosexual manifestations. In an interview for The New York Times, Maureen Dowd questioned why his parents, both scientists, did not see the disconnection. Bowen said, “It was a cultural thing for them, this cultural value around masculinity, around keeping the family line going, keeping certain things holy and sacred,” he said “It was me wanting to meet them halfway but realizing it had to be pretty absolute. It was an either-or thing. There was not that much middle ground.” He moved to New York in 2008 to attend New York University (NYU) like his older sister, his father assigned her to chaperone him, Bowen trying “straightness on for size and failing miserably.” He came to accept being gay, incorporating it into his comedy, and hoped his parents would learn to accept that aspect of him. They have since found a truce and go on family vacations.
Yang plays Nora Lin’s (portrayed by Awkwafina) mobile app-developer cousin, both being raised by her dad (BD Wong) and grandmother (Lori Tan Chinn) in the Comedy Central sitcom Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens, picked up in 2018, and premiered in January 2020; and renewed for a second season.
