## Summary

Bowen Yang returned to “Saturday Night Live” as Mary Todd Lincoln in a musical sketch that parodied songs from Broadway shows and made jokes about New York City transport and public life. The appearance came during his run in “Oh Mary!”, bringing the play’s historical character into a sketch about the city’s changing streets.

John Mulaney played a horse-drawn carriage operator lamenting the city’s ban, while other performers appeared as a marathon runner, a rival pedicab driver, a homeless man, a cloud of cannabis smoke and a “Park Slope Cuck”. Their songs spoofed numbers from “Dreamgirls”, “Funny Girl”, “Anything You Can Do”, “Cats” and “West Side Story”. Yang’s run in “Oh Mary!” has been extended through 17 January 2027, which the article attributes to popular demand.
