The recent SNL sketch titled "The White Potus" parodied the hit series The White Lotus, featuring Jon Hamm as a fictional version of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and a satirical take on political commentary. However, the sketch drew criticism for targeting Aimee Lou Wood's appearance, which prompted the actress to express her displeasure on Instagram, calling it mean-spirited. Wood, who has faced bullying due to her teeth in the past, articulated her belief that humor should be clever and must not punch down on individuals, advocating for a smarter approach to comedy.
"Yes, take the piss for sure - that's what the show is about - but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?"
"The joke was about fluoride. I have big gap teeth not bad teeth. I understand that's what SNL is, but... I/Chelsea was the only one punched down on."
