Just when we thought SNL UK couldn’t get any funnier, they gave us Wicked: Nigeria 🇳🇬😂 This weekend, Cynthia Erivo took to the SNL UK stage as host and gave us a hilarious Nollywood-inspired spin on Wicked It was a reimagining none of us saw coming, and one that hit differently. It was truly Nollywood realness from start to finish, with a beautiful nod to Cynthia’s Nigerian heritage.
