“Saturday Night Live” has entered The media threshing of season 3 of “The White Lotus” This week, imagining a version of the show where it is mainly high -level members of the Trump administration who hang out at the Resort in Thailand. Parody’s sketch understood that the host Jon Hamm occupying the role of the Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who was also a parody of Rick Hatchett of Walton Goggins. It offers a funny line to want to stab someone with a needle full of measles virus, but things become weird. The woman he is talking to is not another impression of someone in Trump’s team, but a simple impression of Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood), Rick’s loving girlfriend in the series.

The joke of this Chelsea impression, interpreted by the Sarah Sherman distribution, is almost entirely on the size of her teeth. Sherman continues to speak with a wide open mouth, making sure that the public can laugh at his false front teeth. When RFK talks about removing drinking water fluoride, Sherman’s Chelsea says in an exaggerated attempt of an Manicunian accent, “fluoride, what is it?”

Aimee Lou Wood responded to the sketch of a series of Instagram articles posts Sunday morning, writing:

“I found the nasty and funny SNL thing … such a shame because I had such a good time to watch it a few weeks ago. Yes, take the P ** s for sure – that’s what it is – but there must be a smarter, more nuanced, less cheaper way?”

Wooden shared screenshots of certain responses from his fans, one including one noted“Everyone in this parody was a political figure who was making fun. The only character who was not political was Chelsea, and they clearly took the piss of your appearance.” Wood also responded to a fan message complaining of Sherman’s printing of Chelsea’s accent, writing: “At least get the emphasis correctly. I respect precision even if it’s mean.”

The parody of Chelsea of ​​the sketch feels particularly mechanical taking into account the wood Recent interview with British GQwhere she spoke of feeling “frustrated” by the way people remain obsessed with her natural teeth:

“It makes me really happy that it symbolizes rebellion and freedom, but there is a limit … all the conversation is almost my teeth, and it makes me a little sad because I am not talking about my work. … And, I must go … I don’t know if it was a man talking about it a lot?

The interview was published Tuesday, offering writers “SNL” a lot of time to rethink how they could approach (or simply cut) their parody of Chelsea. Give the duration of the sketch for a digital short film, the shaving of a few seconds would not have hurt.

Wood also talked about how much she appreciated “The White Lotus” Showrunner Mike White Fight to make her sink for the role, but she had mixed feelings that he had to fight so hard:

“Someone told me how Mike had fought for me. They said” it should be you, no matter what HBO said. “… It was honestly the most beautiful place, but my little head said:” HBO didn’t want me.

Chelsea’s joke also seems strange because, well, why not make her someone else from the Trump administration? An impression of Cheryl Hines, the famous real woman of RFK, would have returned perfectly. If they could not find a good angle on Hines, there are still countless other women in the Trump administration for “SNL” writers. In a sketch that was otherwise to imagine the Trump administration at the White Lotus Resort, why put this premise on a break just to make fun of the appearance of Aimee Lou Wood? The writers of “SNL” could surely have found a more kind and smarter angle.

Wood added In his Instragram coil“So, to conclude the diatribe today. @HBO – kind and united and never hurt me so leave them alone. @Nbcsnl – bad.” Later, she posted: “I had excuses of SNL”, but I did not provide other details.
