'White Lotus' star's takedown of 'SNL' skit is reminder comedy 'can go too far,' cast member admits
Monday, 21 April 2025 () Bowen Yang, a longtime "Saturday Night Live" cast member, admitted that sometimes comedians can go "too far," after validating Aimee Lou Wood's feelings over the parody skit.
Bowen Yang is on Aimee Lou Wood's side following her criticism of a 'White Lotus' parody on the latest 'Saturday Night Live' episode. Last 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. However, Wood's 'White Lotus' character Chelsea, portrayed by Sarah Sherman, wasn't switched, and saw Sherman wear a pair of fake teeth in the sketch.

Cate Blanchett is saying awards shows should no longer be televised out of respect for privacy. The two-time Oscar-winning actress made a recent appearance on the 'Las Culturistas With Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang' podcast, where she suggested that the Oscars should "go back to the day when it wasn't televised." The conversation started when Blanchett noted that there are "so few spaces that you can go now, where you are private," without phones and the risk of someone recording you.
