In an unforgettable moment on "The View," Bowen Yang left both the audience and cohosts in stitches with a shocking joke aimed at JD Vance, dubbing him a ‘pope killer’ after a chilling coincidence involving the late Pope Francis.

The uproar occurred shortly after news broke of Pope Francis’s passing at the age of 88, a tragedy that came just a day after Vance was filmed greeting the Pope in a now-viral exchange. In the clip, the Senator from Ohio remarked, "I know you've not been feeling well, but it's good to see you in better health," which many viewers found eerie considering the timing.

During a segment discussing this incident, Bowen recounted his hesitation in portraying Vance on "Saturday Night Live," expressing doubt that he was the right fit for the role. However, he ultimately delivered a memorable line that turned the conversation on its head: "Look, the guy's a pope killer, OK?" This bombshell remark sent shockwaves through the studio, eliciting roaring laughter from the audience and leaving Whoopi Goldberg and Sara Haines momentarily speechless.

Whoopi, regaining her composure, quipped, "Someone had to say it," while Joy Behar chimed in to clarify, "He doesn’t mean it literally. He’s just talking spiritually." The moment perfectly encapsulated the blend of humor and topicality that Bowen Yang is known for.
