What did Bowen Yang say about Aimee Lou Wood’s reaction to SNL’s White Lotus parody?

The Wicked actor and SNL member recently sat down for a chat, where he addressed the criticism Aimee Lou Wood shared regarding the SNL parody of the White Lotus.

The actress had called out the parody for her representation and received support from many of her fans. Bowen Yang, on the other hand, echoed the same sentiments and told Extra, “However she reacted to that sketch is completely valid. With parody, you kind of forget the sort of human, emotional cost that it sort of extols on someone.”

Yang added, “Parody can go too far sometimes, and that we, as comedians, can take account for that instead of banging our foot and saying that we should be able to say whatever we want because that’s just the culture.” However, he did clarify that the SNL cast are fans of Woods’ performance in The White Lotus and that “she should be so proud of the work that she put into this season.”

In the SNL parody in question, the name of the sketch was “The White Potus,” and it focused on Donald Trump and his administration. The sketch also took a dig at the tariffs situation and featured Sarah Sherman as Aimee Lou Wood’s character, Chelsea.

Sherman, in the sketch, sported fake and big teeth to depict Wood’s teeth structure, which didn’t sit well with the actress. In her criticism of the same, the actress said, “Such a shame cuz I had such a great time watching it a couple of weeks ago. Yes, take the piss for sure – that’s what the show is about- but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?”
