‘White Lotus’ Drama? Walton Goggins To Host 'SNL' After Aimee Lou Wood Parody Airs

“Saturday Night Live” just dropped its next host announcement, and the timing couldn't be juicier.

“White Lotus” star Walton Goggins will make his "SNL" debut on May 10, with Arcade Fire as the musical guest, fresh off the heels of a controversial sketch that dragged his co-star Aimee Lou Wood.

According to Page Six, Goggins will be the second-to-last host for "SNL"'s milestone 50th season.

The finale, set for May 17, will feature none other than Scarlett Johansson and Bad Bunny.

But it’s this penultimate episode that has everyone talking, not because of Goggins himself, but because of what happened to his on-screen love interest just a few weeks ago.

On April 12, "SNL" aired a sketch spoofing “The White Lotus,” with comedian Sarah Sherman portraying Wood’s character, Chelsea. But instead of going for wit, the bit leaned hard on physical gags as Sherman wore oversized fake teeth and exaggerated Wood’s English accent, even joking, “Fluoride? What’s that?”

The 31-year-old "Sex Education" alum didn’t find it funny. At all.

“I did find the ‘SNL’ thing mean and unfunny xo. (Felt righteous, might delete later),” she posted on Instagram Stories, calling the bit a cheap shot. “Yes, take the piss for sure, that’s what the show is about, but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?”

While Wood took offense, Goggins had a very different take.

The “Justified” actor called the sketch “smashing,” which has only fueled rumors of a behind-the-scenes rift between the co-stars.

Fans have noticed that Goggins and Wood no longer follow each other on Instagram, and eagle-eyed viewers clocked that Goggins left Wood out of his recent "White Lotus" tribute post, despite their characters being romantically involved on-screen. Still, sources say the two are expected to reunite professionally in the coming weeks.

According to CNN’s Elizabeth Wagmeister, who spilled the tea on "The Viall Files" podcast, the duo is “leaping into a giant Emmy campaign” and will “have to be in the same room.”

But there’s more to Wood’s story than social media drama and parody backlash.

Wood has long pushed back against traditional beauty norms in Hollywood, and her recent comments prove she’s not done challenging the industry.

In a candid February interview with "On Demand Entertainment," the "Sex Education" alum opened up about her unconventional rise in the U.S. acting scene.

“I just don’t think I look very American. Like at all,” she said. “It’s the teeth. Like, no Americans have my teeth.”

In an industry where veneers are practically standard issue, Wood has embraced her natural smile, and audiences have embraced her right back. Her authenticity has become a signature part of her appeal, offering a refreshing counter to the overly polished, often unattainable ideals seen in Hollywood.

Though she’s making it clear that her teeth shouldn’t be the only conversation.

In an April 5 interview with The Sunday Times, Wood opened up about her growing frustration with being reduced to one physical feature.

“It’s, like, cool, and now I want to stop f-cking talking about it,” she said. “Can I talk about my character? Why am I talking about my gnashers? It’s like now I’m just a pair of front teeth.”

Wood confessed that while she appreciates the love and inspiration others draw from her natural look, it still stings that the very thing she was once bullied for has become her defining trait in the industry.

“It does feel a bit weird that the thing I got bullied for is now the thing that everyone’s, like, ‘Woo!’” she said. “It’s still the thing that’s defining me.”

For now, fans of Wood will have to sit tight and see what surprises "SNL" and Walton Goggins might be cooking up next.
