If you watched Saturday Night Live on Jan. 21, you might have recognized a familiar face beneath a hooded monk's robe among the choir members. The red beard belonged to Elliot Yates, a native of Philadelphia who now resides in San Francisco. He was one of the 16 monks who performed.

The SNL segment featured “Gloria” from Sam Smith's 3rd solo album performed by a 16-piece choir wearing hooded black-sparkled monk robes. Since the song has a heavily religious theme, the robed choir of monks was a perfect backup.

Elliot has enjoyed being a contestant on several well-known gameshows and won many times. It is exciting to see someone we actually know on national television! Congratulations!
