SNL UK Fans Hail ‘Best Episode of the Series’ so Far as Sky Show 'Finds Its Stride'
The White Lotus star joked about astrology, past lives and a protective crystal while pushing back on a reputation that spread over the last year.
On Saturday, Sex Education star Aimee Lou Wood hosted Saturday Night Live U.K., claiming she is "not relatable" during her monologue to dispel what she called "vicious rumors" about her public image.
During the episode, Wood starred in a parody sketch lampooning Doctor Who alongside cast member Hammed Animashaun, who played the Doctor. Fans on social media seized on the sketch to endorse Wood as a prospective next Doctor.
The host also appeared as Princess Peach in a Mario Bros. skit and shared personal anecdotes, including a claim that she was British artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman in a past life.
As the sixth host since Saturday Night Live U.K. launched in April, Wood joined a rotating roster that has included Tina Fey and Nicola Coughlan among others.
Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham hosts next week's episode, while Doctor Who actor Ncuti Gatwa will headline the final installment of the inaugural eight-episode season later this month.
