Wood posted on social media the night after SNL aired its parody of the Mike White drama. She expressed unhappiness with the way the late-night sketch show singled her out with an unflattering spoof of her The White Lotus character, Chelsea, played by Sherman.
Wood shared a picture of a pink and orange flower arrangement. She wrote, “Thank you for the beautiful flowers (Sarah Sherman)”.
What even was that sketch?
The sketch starred James Austin Johnson as the president, Chloe Fineman as Melania Trump, Mikey Day as Donald Trump Jr., and Jon Hamm as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The sketch focused on tariffs upending the global economy.
Wood’s Chelsea was the only The White Lotus character to appear in the pre-taped segment. Sherman’s portrayal of Chelsea included an exaggerated accent and enlarged false teeth.
In one comedic moment, Hamm’s RFK, dressed as Walton Goggin’s Rick, blurts out a bizarre idea.
“I’ve been having these insane ideas, like what if we took all the fluoride out of the drinking water? What would that do to people’s teeth?”.
Not amused
Wood expressed her disappointment with the SNL sketch. She felt that the parody was not clever or nuanced.
“Such a shame cuz I had such a great time watching it a couple of weeks ago”. She further elaborated on her feelings about the parody. “Yes, take the piss for sure, that’s what the show is about, but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?”.
So... are they cool now?
The incident raises questions about the boundaries of comedy and the impact of parody on individuals. Sherman's gesture of sending flowers suggests an attempt to smooth things over after the controversy. It remains to be seen if this will fully resolve the situation between the two actresses.
The public reaction to the SNL sketch and Wood's response has been varied, with some finding the parody humorous and others agreeing with Wood's criticism. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential for misinterpretation and hurt feelings in the world of comedy.
