A call from Lorne Michaels reportedly confirmed he was pivotal, but Yang still believed it was the right time to move on. He discussed the decision with Rachel Sennott on a Variety Actors on Actors panel, noting his four Emmy nominations and expressing gratitude for his long-running career in comedy.
