It’s been one year since Aimee Lou Wood expressed her displeasure with a Saturday Night Live sketch that mocked her appearance. The White Lotus actress called a sketch “mean and unfunny” after Sarah Sherman parodied Wood’s character from the HBO drama, Chelsea, by wearing large fake teeth, but now it’s Wood who’s getting the last laugh. The actress will be able to take back her narrative when she appears as the host of an upcoming episode of SNL UK.
The British version of Saturday Night Live premiered in March (see how to watch it here) and has been putting its spin on Lorne Michaels’ iconic sketch comedy with the help of celebs like Tina Fey and Graham Norton. English actress Aimee Lou Wood will get her chance to go live from London on Saturday, May 2, according to Deadline. MEEKS will serve as the musical guest.
