Saturday Night Live took aim at former Nvidia chief Jensen Huang over allegations surrounding his reported affair with a suspected Chinese spy, bringing back former cast member Bowen Yang to play the tech executive in the show's cold open. Yang, who departed the NBC show in December 2025, returned for the sketch, which was hosted by John Mulaney as a CIA official gathering prominent technology executives for a briefing on not being duped by foreign agents.

In the sketch, Yang's Huang introduced himself as Jensen 'Hide Your Wife' Huang, wearing a leather jacket and joking about BDSM, which he defined as 'Breaking Da Stock Market.' The lineup of executives included Ben Marshall as Sam Altman, James Austin Johnson as Peter Thiel, Jeremy Culhane as Elon Musk, Andrew Dismukes as Mark Zuckerberg and Jane Wickline as Dario Amodei, with Mulaney's character warning them about women who are clearly spies.S1S2

The satire follows reports that Huang, 63, who married his wife Lori in 1985, came under scrutiny after US officials reportedly believed he had an affair with Alice Huang, a Chinese national suspected of spying for Beijing. Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based company Megaspeed, is not related to Jensen Huang. US intelligence officials had reportedly suspected for about a year that she was spying for Beijing, with authorities fearing she helped transfer advanced Nvidia chips to China after the United States barred their sale over national security concerns.S1S2

The New York Times later reported that Huang allegedly had an affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare, a relationship that would reportedly breach the company's code of conduct. Two sources told the Times that Huang and Powell were recorded behaving affectionately at a San Jose, California, hotel during an Nvidia conference in March, and another report alleged he had a third mistress who also worked at the company.S1

Huang stepped down as Nvidia's leader on Thursday after The Wall Street Journal reported that the board was seeking to remove him, and he had earlier apologized publicly to his wife. He wrote: 'I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did.' Both of his children work at Nvidia. He has also agreed to testify before Congress before Thanksgiving, and Nvidia's stock has reportedly fallen roughly 20% since the start of November amid the scandal.S1S2
