Saturday Night Live (SNL) has always been a sorry affair, prime time proof that the American sense of humour is remarkably underdeveloped. You could find more amusing sketches playing out in the dingiest of regional British comedy clubs. But last Saturday’s offering was truly dire, nothing short of a cruel and unprompted attack on the UK and our new national treasure — Aimee Lou Wood.
In their latest grimly unwitty offering, The White Potus, comics and stars such as Scarlett Johansson and Jon Hamm do a ropey send-up of the Trump administration as White Lotus season 3 characters. Hamm plays US Secretary of Health RFK Jr as a Walton Goggins stand-in, opposite Sarah Sherman as... just Aimee Lou Wood.
