Aimee Lou Wood Roasts 2025 SNL Teeth Sketch in UK Promo
aimee lou wood used her Saturday Night Live UK promo to reopen the teeth sketch dispute. In the clip ahead of her hosting debut this weekend, she joked about the 2025 SNL parody that put her under a microscope and turned the joke back on the show.
She called the earlier sketch “mean and unfunny” when it aired, and the promo leans into that history instead of pretending it never happened. That gives her UK hosting slot a sharper edge than a standard launch clip: the publicity now includes the criticism itself.
White Lotus parody returns
The 2025 sketch came from a White Lotus Season 3 parody that poked fun at Wood’s character Chelsea, with Sarah Sherman wearing buck teeth in the bit. Wood addressed that directly in the promo, saying, “I cannot wait to get started, you know, especially after the whole thing in America with the teeth. It’s gonna feel good to just wipe the slate clean.”
She then walked straight into the gag. “Wait, why are you all covering your mouths?” she asked the SNL UK cast, after they appeared with their mouths covered when she arrived. Ayoade Bamgboye answered, “Just doing a big yawn.”
The promo turns on itself
Wood kept pressing the joke, saying, “Have you guys got fake teeth in? Wow, wow. This is all one big set up to humiliate me then. I thought SNL UK would be different, but I was wrong.” Bamgboye replied, “Aimee wait. We all grew big glorious moustaches,” and Celeste Dring added, “We don’t want you to feel left out, we’re sorry.”
That exchange matters because Wood is not just returning to the subject; she is making it part of the promotion for her own hosting turn. Her earlier decision to speak out went viral last year, and she later told News, “I don’t regret saying it because it was breaking a pattern, which is what I would usually do – what I did when I was younger and got bullied.”
Saturday Night Live UK this weekend
Wood also told News, “No matter what chaos came from it, I’m still happy for me and my personal journey that I said something.” The new promo carries that same stance into the show’s run-up, using the old insult as material rather than baggage.
For viewers, the practical takeaway is simple: Wood’s debut is arriving with the controversy already folded into the pitch. If Saturday Night Live UK wants the moment to land, it will have to match the promo’s willingness to joke about the teeth sketch instead of stepping around it.
