AceShowbiz - Aimee Lou Wood is set to host Saturday Night Live UK this weekend, and she’s already addressing a controversial moment from the American version of the show.
In a promotional clip released ahead of her hosting gig, the Sex Education and White Lotus star poked fun at a 2025 sketch from SNL that parodied White Lotus Season 3. The sketch was criticized by Wood at the time for being "mean and unfunny." It featured cast member Sarah Sherman wearing exaggerated buck teeth to mock Wood’s character Chelsea.
During the SNL UK promo, Wood is greeted by cast members who cover their mouths in reference to the previous sketch. She enthusiastically says, "Oh my God, I'm so excited. I cannot wait to get started, you know, especially after the whole thing in America with the teeth. It's gonna feel good to just wipe the slate clean."
This tongue-in-cheek reference highlights Wood’s willingness to confront the past controversy with humor as she steps into the spotlight for her hosting debut on SNL UK. The promo sets the tone for a fresh start, signaling that Wood is ready to move past the earlier parody and embrace her new role on the show.
