‘SNL’ cast member responds after Liam Gallagher reacts to ‘disturbing’ Oasis sketch

Liam Gallagher is reacting to the recent portrayal of him and his brother Noel Gallagher in a “Saturday Night Live” sketch about Oasis, and it’s safe to say he wasn’t a fan.

During the Oct. 12 episode of “SNL,” which was hosted by Ariana Grande with musical guest Stevie Nicks, the show teased the recent Oasis reunion. After years of feuding, brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher announced in August that they are reuniting the band for a series of shows next year. So, on the latest segment of “Weekend Update,” comedians Sarah Sherman and James Austin Johnson posed as siblings and discussed their unexpected reconciliation.

Sherman and Johnson both used exaggerated British accents as they elbowed each other and traded jabs. “He’s being naughty, Colin!” Sherman, who played Liam Gallagher, told Colin Jost before sticking his tongue out at Johnson.

The brothers then said that the only subjects they can agree on are those related to cartoons. They considered as “legends” some characters from “SpongeBob SquarePants”, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “Rugrats”.

The truce didn’t last long as they began playfully shoving and hitting each other before arguing again.

As they settled in, Jost said, “Guys, listen, I really need your tour to work, okay? Because I’ve already bought the tickets and I’m about to do it so much that I’m going to win the White Boy of the ‘year”.

“Liam and Noel Gallagher” handed a few more “legend” statuses to other characters and films before the segment ended.

While the skit received plenty of laughs from the live audience, there was at least one person who didn’t laugh: Liam Gallagher.

When a fan retweeted the sketch to X and asked Liam Gallagher if he had seen it, the musician sarcastically replied: “They’re meant to be comedians.”

But his reaction didn’t put Sherman off who retweeted Liam Gallagher and replied: “LEGEND !!!!!!!!” with a raised hands emoji.

Liam Gallagher, who frequently responds to fans on X, was not done criticizing the scheme. When another fan asked how she felt about the portrayal, she tweeted: “Excruciating.”

A third suggested they could do a better impersonation, writing: “Same.”

Another said the brothers were funnier than the show implied and Liam Gallagher replied: “EXACTLY”.

Although the Brit didn’t seem to think the imitation was accurate, the two brothers had a public falling out that lasted years after Oasis broke up in August 2009. On August 25, Liam and Noel Gallagher shocking fans when they teased a reunion. sharing a graphic on Instagram.

Two days later, the band released show dates and ticketing information on social media for their 2025 UK and Ireland tour.

In September they announced that the tour will extend through North America. They will play a series of shows in Toronto, Chicago, East Rutherford, New Jersey, Los Angeles and Mexico City starting in August 2025. Most recently, they announced dates in Australia.
