Washington [US], April 21 (ANI): Actor and comedian Bowen Yang, after her criticism of the 'White Lotus' parody on the latest Saturday Night Live episode, has supported Aimee Lou Wood.
During the late-night sketch show, which featured Jon Hamm as host that week, SNL spoofed the season three finale of Mike White's hit show, but with a Donald Trump twist. The sketch swapped characters from the show with the president, his family and members of his cabinet, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
However, Wood's White Lotus character, Chelsea, portrayed by Sarah Sherman, wasn't switched, and Sherman wore a pair of fake teeth in the sketch, as per the outlet.
Wood previously called the skit 'mean and unfunny' and called out Sherman for 'punching down' at her character and her British accent, adding, 'At least get the accent right, seriously. I respect accuracy, even if it means.'
Yang recently supported Wood and called the reaction 'completely valid,' adding, 'You kind of forget the sort of human, emotional cost that it sort of extols on someone.'
Bowen continued, 'Everyone at SNL is just a fan of the show, obviously a fan of her. We just think that she should be so proud of the work that she put into the season; it was just water-cooler television again, that we desperately have a craving for. So I feel like it's this thing that we tend to forget sometimes, and this is a reminder, and it seems like she has spoken to people at the show about it, and hopefully there's room to sort of move on from it.'
'You need those reminders now and then that parody can go too far sometimes and that we, as comedians, can take into account for that instead of banging our foot and saying that we should be able to say whatever we want,' Yang added. 'That's just culture, it's not PC or woke culture, it's just culture,' as per The Hollywood Reporter. (ANI)
