Aimee Lou Wood Turns SNL Teeth Gag Into a Win With SNL UK Host Debut

The episode drew strong online praise that suggests Sky’s new SNL has found its stride.

Overview

  • Aimee Lou Wood, who hosted Saturday on Sky One with musical guest MEEK, leaned into the year-old US SNL teeth joke in a promo and across sketches.
  • Viewers on X widely praised the show as the best of the SNL UK series so far and singled out Wood’s energy and timing.
  • Her set paired a cheeky monologue about shedding a “relatable” image with standout bits including a Princess Peach sketch and a Doctor Who parody.
  • The hosting turn followed an April 2025 US sketch that mocked her teeth, which she called “mean and unfunny” before SNL and cast member Sarah Sherman apologized and sent flowers.
  • SNL UK’s first season on Sky, extended to eight episodes, now heads into its final two weeks with hosts Hannah Waddingham and Ncuti Gatwa as social buzz outpaces traditional ratings.
