Ayo Edebiri Seemingly Apologizes for Jennifer Lopez Podcast Remarks in ‘SNL’ Sketch: Watch

“It’s wrong to leave mean comments, or post comments just for clout, or run your mouth on a podcast,” The Bear actress said.

After being grilled by the game show’s host (played by SNL cast member Kenan Thompson) about why she left the comment “Die” under a video post where actress Drew Barrymore is enjoying a rainy day, Edebiri’s character Annie tries to give excuses for her negative reaction before finally admitting the truth. Later in the skit, Edebiri’s Annie breaks down and seemingly addresses comments she made in real life about Jennifer Lopez — who also appeared as the SNL episode’s musical guest — during a 2020 appearance on the podcast Scam Goddess, where she told host Laci Mosley that J.Lo’s music career was “one long scam.” (L-R) Mikey Day as Danny, Andrew Dismukes as Tyler, and host Ayo Edebiri as Annie during the “Why’d You Say It” sketch on Saturday, February 3, 2024 Will Heath/NBC
