Bowen Yang voiced support for Aimee Lou Wood after she criticized Saturday Night Live's parody of her character from 'The White Lotus.' Yang emphasized the emotional toll such sketches can take, describing Wood's reaction as completely valid. He stated that while everyone at 'SNL' admires her work, it's essential for comedians to acknowledge when parody crosses the line. Wood responded to the sketch, calling it 'mean and unfunny' and indicated she had received apologies from the show. Ultimately, she also defended Sarah Sherman, the actress who portrayed her character.
"However she reacted to that sketch is completely valid," Yang said in a recent interview. He added, "With parody, you kind of forget the sort of human, emotional cost that it sort of extols on someone."
"But yeah, you need those reminders every now and then that parody can go too far sometimes and that we, as comedians, can take account for that instead of banging our foot and saying that we should be able to say whatever we want," he stated. "That's just culture, it's not PC or woke culture, it's just culture."
