Bowen Yang made a surprise return to “Saturday Night Live” in the cold open, playing the disgraced tech mogul Jensen Huang as host John Mulaney led a group of tech billionaires through a CIA class on how to recognize female spies.

The cold open featured Mulaney as a CIA agent who gathered ultra-rich tech moguls for a crash course on how to recognize a classic espionage honeytrap, a nod to the Nvidia scandal that has rocked the business world. In the closing moments of the sketch, former “SNL” trouper Yang walked in delivering a pitch-perfect spoof of Huang, who was forced under pressure to resign from the Silicon Valley giant that he built for more than 30 years amid a growing sex scandal.
