Nicola Coughlan to Host Saturday Night Live UK
The actresses will front Episodes 5 and 6 as the UK sketch show returns after a one-week break with Foo Fighters and Meek as musical guests.
- Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan will host SNL U.K. on April 25 with Foo Fighters, followed by The White Lotus actor Aimee Lou Wood on May 2 alongside singer Meek.
- After a strong launch with 226,000 viewers, ratings have declined to 130,100 for recent episodes as SNL U.K. takes a one-week hiatus before returning for the second half of its eight-episode season.
- Previous episodes featured hosts Tina Fey, Jamie Dornan, Riz Ahmed, and Jack Whitehall, while past musical guests included Wet Leg, Wolf Alice, Kasabian, and Jorja Smith.
- Wood's casting is notable given her past criticism of the American SNL version, which she called "mean and unfunny" after a 2025 sketch parodied her appearance in a White Lotus parody.
- Last week, comedian Nick Mohammed called the show "the best thing that's happened to British comedy since" The Office, though The Hollywood Reporter determined it has "good cast, spotty writing.
