'Now, remember Janey,' Bruff says, 'even though I can see the guys, you won't until you've made your choice.'
In the first of three chairs to flip around is Alan from Tempe (James Austin Johnson, in a shaggy blonde haircut). 'Hi, my name's Alan,' he says, 'but I hope to be Fallin' in love.'
Second up is Dan from Ridgefield (an ordinary looking Marcello Hernandez)…and then there's Jean from Seattle (Black, who's dressed like a certain movie character you might recognize.)
'Hi, I'm Gene,' says Black. 'I can't think of a pun for my name. I'm just Gene.'
We return to Dan, who's asked what he looks for in a woman.
'Well, the right answer is personality,' he acknowledges, 'but the real answer is butt.'
Gene's answer?
'You know, I spent a lot of my life trying to figure out women, and then one day I said, maybe it's time to figure out Gene. So I'm looking for a woman to go on that journey with me.'
Janey finds this answer 'so refreshing,' but a perturbed Todd Bruff has to call the contestant out.
'I feel like I have to tell you, he's dressed like Indiana Jones,' Bruff tells Janey. 'I'm not supposed to say what they look like, but yeah, he's in head-to-toe Indiana Jones.'
'What is Indiana Jones?' Gene asks. 'I don't know what Indiana Jones is.'
'Well, no Gene, I think you do,' Bruff argues. 'Because you're dressed like that. You're dressed like Indiana Jones.'
Gene pretends to wonder if Indiana Jones is 'a brand, like Tommy Hilfiger.' But Todd again insists that Gene knows who Indiana Jones is, 'because you have the whip.'
Janey is interested in Gene, no matter how he's dressed. After all, ' he sounds nice.' But Bruff can't let the situation go.
'You're hurting my feelings, and your producer just said wear what you wear on a date,' says Gene. 'I'm sorry if it looks like Indiana Jones, whoever he may be.'
'Hey, is Indiana Jones from Indiana?' Dan asks.
Falling for the trick question, Gene says, 'No, that was his nickname.'
Bruff calls this the 'worst episode' of Love Match ever and revolves to start the show over with a fresh batch of guys. But when he turns the chairs back around and introduces yet another new suitor, it's Bowen Yang dressed like Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Carribean.
'Where are they coming from?' Todd groans.
Appearing to promote Warner Bros' A Minecraft Movie, Black's outing tonight as host is his first in two decades and fourth overall. Elton John and Brandi Carlile are the musical guests.
Watch the sketch above.

'White Lotus' stars Walton Goggins, Aimee Lou Wood deny feud rumors: 'I love this woman'
'White Lotus' stars Walton Goggins, Aimee Lou Wood deny feud rumors: 'I love this woman' Show Caption Hide Caption Aimee Lou Wood slams 'SNL' sketch mocking her appearance "White Lotus" star Aimee Lou Wood has called out "Saturday Night Live" for a sketch that aired in a recent episode, calling it 'mean and unfunny.' unbranded - Entertainment Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood are putting those feud rumors to rest once and for all. The "White Lotus" stars, who played Rick and Chelsea in the HBO drama's third season, denied speculation of bad blood between them in a joint interview with Variety published on Wednesday, June 4. The actors also posed together for several photos featured in the article. "There is no feud," Goggins told Variety. "I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me. This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything, and she will. You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be. I'll be on an island, I think Greece. But she's special." He continued, "There is no feud. She is love and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply." Rumors of drama between Wood and Goggins have circulated for weeks, with fans noticing that the actor had unfollowed his former co-star on Instagram. But Goggins told Variety this was because he "needed to just back away from everyone" after filming Season 3, explaining that it was "a part of me just saying goodbye to this character." But he said he told Wood this would be his process ahead of time, and she was supportive. In the middle of the conversation, which took place in May, the "Fallout" actor grabbed his phone and followed Wood on Instagram again. Wood and Goggins also discussed the controversial "Saturday Night Live" sketch about "The White Lotus" that made fun of her teeth, which the actress previously slammed as "mean" and "unfunny." After the sketch aired, Goggins praised it on Instagram and later hosted "SNL" himself, which only further fueled rumors of a feud. SNL' star Sarah Sherman speaks out about controversial Aimee Lou Wood impression But Wood told Variety she "was so upset" when some people suggested Goggins should not have hosted "SNL" because of the sketch. Goggins, meanwhile, said he shared the clip to compliment Jon Hamm's impression of him, but felt bad when he saw Wood's reaction to the sketch. "You have the most beautiful smile in the world, you know that," he told the actress. Speculation about drama on the set of "The White Lotus" spread like wildfire after star Jason Isaacs spoke vaguely in multiple interviews to imply there were tensions between some cast members. In a conversation with Vulture in March, Isaacs said cryptically that "there were friendships that were made and friendships that were lost" on set, adding that "there's an off-screen 'White Lotus' as well, with fewer deaths but just as much drama." Aimee Lou Wood receives flowers from 'SNL' star Sarah Sherman after slamming 'mean' sketch But Isaacs later poked fun at the ensuing fan speculation. In May, he shared a photo of himself with Goggins on Instagram and wrote, "Hey, all you genius online sleuths - see any beef?!!"

Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins Deny ‘White Lotus' Feud Rumors
It's been two months since The White Lotus season 3 finale aired, and we finally have an answer to the show's most gripping cliffhanger: Why did Walton Goggins unfollow Aimee Lou Wood on Instagram? The actors, who starred as doomed lovers Rick and Chelsea in the most recent season of HBO's hit show, finally denied their rumored feud in a new joint interview with Variety. 'There is no feud,' Walton insisted. 'I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me.' He continued to praise her talent, comparing her to Goldie Hawn and Meg Ryan. 'She can do anything, and she will. You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be,' he said. 'She's special. There is no feud. She is love and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply.' But what about the unfollowing on Instagram? The reposting of the SNL White Lotus sketch that made fun of Aimee's teeth? And the awkward interview where Walton apparently refused to talk about Aimee? There's an answer for all of it. Rumors of a feud were originally kickstarted in April by their White Lotus co-star Jason Isaacs, who suggested that 'friendships were lost' on the set, which then inspired internet sleuths to go look. Soon, fans realized that Walton and Aimee didn't follow each other on Instagram, despite following every other main cast member. It turns out there's a simple explanation for the unfollowing: Walton and Aimee simply don't care about social media! 'Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant,' Aimee told Variety. 'We don't give a shite about Instagram.' As for Goggins, he said that he unfollowed Aimee as a way of letting go of the character of Rick. 'My catharsis in this experience was different than other people's, because of my history in this place. I knew what we had gone through, and I knew how close that we had gotten, and I needed to begin to process saying goodbye to Rick and Chelsea,' he explained. 'And I knew that that was going to take a while for me, so I let her know, this is what I've gotta do. And she was extremely supportive about that.' Walton added that he took a step back from 'everyone' in the cast. 'I haven't spoken to anyone. I couldn't handle it. Judge me or don't. I don't give a fuck what you think. This is my process,' he continued. You might be wondering why, then, Walton didn't feel the need to unfollow the rest of the White Lotus cast. He didn't specifically answer this question, but he did say that he was closest to Aimee throughout production and that he kept his distance from group hangs on set. Make of that what you will. Per the article, Walton was exhausted, working on Fallout, when he saw the White Lotus skit and reposted it without knowing the context. When he found out the next day, he deleted the story because he did not mean to cause any harm. If he did, he said, we'd know. 'If I'm gonna say something, but I'm gonna say it to your face,' he insisted. 'I don't use social media in any way, and I'm not a mean guy.' Walton and Aimee's supposed feud made headlines in May after the actor refused to talk about their relationship in an interview with The Times. After the interviewer, Ed Potton, asked a few more times about Aimee, Walton abruptly ended the interview. He told Variety that he didn't want to speak for Aimee and alleged that the interviewer had rudely asked if he and Aimee had bonded over their teeth. 'What he was insinuating, it was so disgusting. It was so appalling. I was flabbergasted,' he said. Now that the feud rumors have been put to bed, it seems that Walton and Aimee are just as in awe of each other as their gushing social media posts would suggest. They even re-followed each other on Instagram mid-interview. 'It's all so ridiculous,' Walton said of the Instagram drama. 'It's just saying goodbye to this character so that now Aimee and I will be friends for fucking ever.'

Sarah Sherman Opened Up About Aimee Lou Wood's Reaction To Her Impersonation And SNL's White Lotus Sketch
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The White Lotus was one of the viral hits on the 2025 TV schedule, and after it ended, Saturday Night Live's parody of it has made waves. In the sketch, Sarah Sherman impersonated Aimee Lou Wood, and afterward, Wood reacted to it, calling the sketch 'mean and unfunny.' Now, the comedian has opened up about everything that happened after the sketch aired and shared her thoughts on the actress's reaction. In the weeks since The White Lotus sketch, 'The White Potus,' aired, many have commented on it, including current SNL cast members (more on that later). Now, the comedian who played Wood has been asked about it. During an interview with Vanity Fair, Sarah Sherman reflected on impersonating the Sex Education star, and the discourse that followed, explaining that she didn't want to make anyone 'feel bad:' I was excited to play her because she's so iconic, her character is so iconic, and I fucking obviously never meant to hurt anyone's feelings. Never in a million years did I get into comedy to make anyone upset. I feel terrible that anyone would feel bad. How To Watch SNL And The White Lotus Saturday Night Live will close out Season 50 this Saturday at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC (or you can stream with a Peacock subscription). You can stream The White Lotus with a Max subscription. Now, it's been reported that Saturday Night Live didn't apologize to Wood directly. However, it was alleged that someone who works on the show did reach out to her. Along with that, The White Lotus actress confirmed Sherman sent her flowers after she called the sketch out. In the weeks since, a few cast members have also commented on what happened and how Wood reacted. In terms of folks who were also in this White Lotus sketch, Chloe Fineman responded to the criticism by saying they make 'stuff with love,' and both she and Sherman 'worship' Amiee Lou Wood. Before that, Bowen Yang shared his thoughts on Wood's reaction, calling it 'completely valid.' He also said this situation was a reminder that 'parody can go too far sometimes' and 'comedians can take account for that.' To that point, Sherman was also asked about working on SNL and if she needs to consider the fact that she could be 'upsetting people' more. In response, she said: Totally. The show is in constant dialogue with culture as it's happening, and it happens really fast. [Long pause] You have to be vigilant, you know what I mean? There are a lot of things out of your control. You're playing a lot of different parts, you're doing a lot of different roles that you're not in control of. A lot of the process of the show has been, to me—how am I answering this? [Pause] Staying vigilant but also being a part of the show—that is your job. Peacock TV: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a yearTune into the latest hits, including Saturday Night Live, from NBC by subscribing to Peacock TV. Costing as little as $7.99 a month, you can also pay more for Peacock Premium and enjoy ad-free streams and the option to download titles to watch offline Deal In the weeks since the sketch aired, Aimee Lou Wood has been asked about appearing on the NBC mainstay. This happened at the Met Gala right before her co-star Walton Goggins hosted an episode of SNL 50. While she said she likely wouldn't appear in his episode, the door was not closed in terms of future appearances. In fact, she said, being on the sketch comedy show 'would be fun.' Overall, it would seem Aimee Lou Wood is cool with SNL, and Sarah Sherman made it very clear that she thinks the actress is 'iconic' and had no intention of hurting her with her impersonation. Now, maybe someday, the two can share the stage in Studio 8H, since Wood made it clear she wouldn't be opposed to coming on the show.
