Nicola Coughlan and Aimee Lou Wood will take their talents to SNL UK

Up next is The White Lotus breakout Aimee Lou Wood, who, if you recall, had a mild tiff with NBC’s Saturday Night Live last spring after the episode hosted by her co-star, Walton Goggins. She criticized Sarah Sherman’s portrayal of her TWL character as “mean and unfunny,” calling out how the sketch poked fun at her appearance. In response, Sherman expressed genuine remorse. Looks like all is forgiven, with the new UK version anyway, now that the Sex Education star is heading to the sketch comedy series on May 2. British singer Meek, whose single “Fabulous” was released in January, will be the musical guest. 

Besides Fey, the other SNL UK hosts so far have included Bait‘s Riz Ahmed, Jamie Dornan, and The ‘Burbs Jack Whitehall. The musical guests so far have been Wet Leg, Wolf Alice, Kasabian, and Jorja Smith. The show airs live on Sky and is available to watch on Peacock in the U.S. the next day.
