On April 18th, Saturday Night Live has roasted celebrities for decades, with spot-on or not-so-spot-on impressions, but not every star is laughing, along. From politicians to actors and anchors, Pliny have called out sketches that hit too close, or missed the mark entirely. The show's studio 8-H parodies make headlines, yet some targets fire back publicly. Take Amy Lou Wood from White Lotus Season 3. After the finale, Sarah Sherman spoofed her in a white poda sketch, and Wood blasted it on Instagram as mean and unfunny. Going back further, Sarah Palin hated Tina Fey's Emmy-winning take. So much she hosted the show to set the record straight. Anderson Cooper fell John Rudnitsky's version, lacked depth, while Mark Wahlberg dismissed Andy Sanders as off-base and said the show lost its edge. Years ago, Kathie Lee Gifford was irked by Kristen Wigg painting her as a drunk on today's showbiz. Sean Spicer had mixed feelings on Melissa McCarthy's Wild Press Secretary routine.

He laughed at first, but later suggested toning down the props and, gum chewing. Megan McCain opened up about 80 Bryant's view parody, triggering real depression and dark times for her. Even Carol Baskin slammed Chloe Feynman's Tiger King Meowfest as unrecognizable, and Britney Spears politely shaded Ariana Grande's voice mimic. While most sketches fade fast, these beasts remind us comedy cuts deep, and celebs keep speaking their truth. This has been Entertainment and Celebrity News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
