Aimee Lou Wood thought SNL genius Sarah Sherman ’s belief of her during last nighttime ’s " The White Lotus " study was " mean and unfunny . "
Article Summary
This weekend , NBC’sSaturday Night Livewrapped up a three - show run with an effort hosted byJon Hammand with melodious guestLizzo . In what could ’ve been the best survey of the nighttime , " The White POTUS " was SNL ’s mashup of the Trump family and his administration and the hit HBO seriesThe White Lotus . In this world , Johnson ’s Trump is Timothy Ratliff – withChloe Fineman ’s Melania as Victoria Ratliff , Day ’s Donald Trump Jr. as Saxon Ratliff , and the returningAlex Moffat’sEric Trumpas Lochlan Ratliff – with Trump trying to decide whether to stamp out himself , his family , or both over how his duty are bust up the economy . Instead , he prefer to shoot Uncle Sam . We hadLizzo ’s Belinda ball over about how her $ 5 million from Gary / Greg / " Howard Lutnick " ( Jon Gries ) used to be $ 20 million , Scarlett Johansson ’s Ivanka Trump , Heidi Gardner ’s Kristi Noem , Ashley Padilla ’s Pam Bondi , Marcello Hernandez ’s Marco Rubio , Beck Bennett ’s Vladimir Putin , and evenKenan Thompson ’s Tiger Woods .
But the cartoon is also getting care for a not - so - great ground ( one we noted in our original reassessment ) . Hamm ’s Robert F. Kennedy , Jr. was a crazed Rick , rave about morbilli and fluoride . It was that last part that contribute us a flavor atSarah ShermanasAimee Lou Wood ’s Chelsea , who ask what fluoride was . The two magnanimous cherry flags were obvious . First , Sherman was n’t playing a political trope plate a character – she was pretending to be Wood as Chelsea . Second , Sherman ’s physical portrait of Wood / Chelsea was definitely not intend to be flattering – and felt like a meretricious shot / punch down in the midsection of a sketch that was making some strong satirical points . It await like Wood felt the same direction …
In a series of Instagram Stories posts addressing another thing concern to her HBO serial publication , Wood made it clear that she was n’t a fan of how she was impersonate . " I did find the SNL thing intend and unfunny , " Wood write at one point . In a later post , Wood added , " Such a shame cuz I had such a peachy time watch it a couple workweek ago . Yes , take the piss for certain — that ’s what the show is about — but there must be a cleverer , more nuanced , less cheap direction ? " Shortly before this went to mail , Wood place an update that " I ’ve had apology from SNL . " Here ’s a summing up of Wood ’s response toSNL ’s study .
