So, our gal Aimee Lou Wood (you know her, the White Lotus goddess with cheekbones so sharp they could slice through the tension on Succession) just got an apology bouquet from none other than SNL’s chaos gremlin, Sarah Sherman.
It all started with a Saturday Night Live sketch called “The White Potus” (yes, POTUS, not Lotus—because we clearly ran out of original ideas and started smashing HBO and the White House together like it’s a TikTok challenge). In this sketch, Sarah decided to go full send on impersonating Aimee’s character Chelsea. And when I say impersonate, I mean she slapped on some cartoonishly massive fake teeth and busted out a Manchester accent so thick you could spread it on toast.
Now, let’s be real—SNL’s job is to roast people. But this roast came in hot like a toaster fire, and Aimee wasn’t exactly LOLing. She hopped on Instagram the next day and was like, “Hi yes, love a joke, but maybe let’s not drag my face through the comedic mud?”
Enter: Sarah Sherman, awkwardly holding a bouquet like she’s just realized the group project was due yesterday. She sent Aimee some flowers—think vibrant orange and pink, somewhere between “Sorry I made fun of your teeth” and “Please don’t cancel me.”
Aimee posted a pic of the peace petals on her story, tagging Sarah and saying, “Thank you for the beautiful flowers,” which is basically British for “We’re cool, but don’t do it again or I’ll send the ghost of Queen Elizabeth after you.”
SNL also apologized (presumably via a very nervous intern typing an email at Mach-10). So all is well-ish in sketch comedy land.
Moral of the story? If you ever accidentally insult someone on national TV, flowers are your best friend. Or maybe just… don’t use prosthetic teeth the size of a toddler.
