00:00Bowen Yang is on Amy Lou Wood's side following her criticism of a White Lotus parody on the latest Saturday Night Live episode.
00:09Last week, SNL spoofed the season three finale of Mike White's hit show, but with a Donald Trump twist.
00:15The sketch swapped characters from the show with the president, his family and members of his cabinet.
00:20However, Wood's White Lotus character Chelsea, portrayed by Sarah Sherman, wasn't switched and saw Sherman wear a pair of fake teeth in the sketch.
00:28Wood previously called the skit mean and unfunny and called out Sherman for punching down at her character and her British accent.
00:35In a recent interview with Extra, Yang called Wood's reaction to the sketch completely valid, adding,
00:41you kind of forget the sort of human emotional cost that it sort of extols on someone.
00:45The SNL star continued, everyone at SNL is just a fan of the show, obviously a fan of her.
00:51We just think that she should be so proud of the work that she put into the season.
00:54It was just water cooler television again that we desperately have a craving for.
00:58So I feel like it's this thing that we tend to forget sometimes, and this is a reminder.
01:03After Wood took to her Instagram story to criticize the sketch, she later noted that she had apologies from SNL,
01:09clarifying that Sherman sent her flowers as an apology.
