‘SNL’s’ Sarah Sherman Confronts Aimee Lou Wood Impersonation Backlash: ‘I Feel Terrible That Anyone Would Feel Bad’

From Tarantino to The Righteous Gemstones to Fallout to The White Lotus, he's made himself practically a household name and — much more importantly — saved the reputation of the receding hairline in the eyes of a grateful nation. It's his recent Saturday Night Live appearance that's really made me perk up, though. Much like Jon Hamm before him, Goggins has proven that just because you're a guy in your fifties doesn't mean you can't be hilarious. The highlight of the...
