Saturday Night Live closed out its 51st season on Saturday night, where Will Ferrell returned to host the long-running sketch comedy series... where he portrayed a ghostly Jeffrey Epstein...
“Don’t worry, Donald, it’s me, your best friend, Jeffrey Epstein,” he said. “Jeffrey, I thought you were dead,” Johnson’s Trump replied.
“I am, remember? I killed myself. Wink!”
“You know me, I keep busy, mahjong every Wednesday with Stalin and John Wayne Gacy. That guy has stories,” Ferrell’s Epstein said...
Trump gave him a run-down on his “fun summer plans,” ...“Well, you know, we’ve got the World Cup UFC fight on my lawn....we’re also doing the Patriot Games..."
“We had some fun times together, didn’t we, Donny? We should have taken more pictures,” he added. “No, it’s really bad that we took any,” Johnson’s Trump asserted.
Ferrell’s Epstein then revealed that he could see into the future, and offered to show Trump what Kristi Noem (Ashley Padilla) would be up to in six months after being fired earlier this year. Turns out, she will be selling products on TV. He also offered a look into Pete Hegseth’s (Colin Jost) future, who was partying with Kash Patel, marking the third week in a row that Aziz Ansari joined the cold open to portray the director of the FBI.
Before Trump and Epstein parted ways once more, they performed a duet to the tune of Grover Washington Jr.’s “Just the Two of Us.” Ferrell’s Epstein left him with a distinct message: “Well, Donny, just remember, no matter how many wars you start or how bad you tank the economy as a distraction, people will always associate you with me. And that, my dear close friend, that is a beautiful thing.”

Ah yes… Will Ferrell… the most unfunniest man alive who threatened to ruin Jon Favreau’s career because he hated Elf.
Will Ferrell, not funny just stupidly annoying
Comedy and Media activism are two entirely different things.
Weak stuff. It’s not comedy, it’s just insults.
Frank, The Tank, is not funny.
Ah. The adult pretenders retreat into make-believe, their happy place when times get tough.
And it probably took two dozen writers to come up with this sketch.
A whole generation of heads full of mush will take this as fact. Should be taken as slander and sued
I tried to watch it. Offensive and stupid so kind of impossible for it to be funny. Turned it off.
But Ferrell is a dead ringer for Scott Bessett. He should parody him...except he can’t because Scott is s gay man.
Completely agree. Not funny at all.
Ill assume every person who works on SNL , including guests, adores the Clintons so its only natural they would ignore facts and focus on Trump. I recall a giant Trump in a dress painting and did Trump invite Epstein to any his kids weddings? 🤔
Will: now do mohammed
Well his DAD was talented. The apple fell far from the tree.
I found Will Ferrell to be somewhat funny 20 years ago, until I’d see enough of his movies to realize that he’ll never rise above playing Will Ferrell in a movie. Then along come Donald Trump and TDS. It’s sad.
If you want to shut down anyone implying that Trump and Epstein were close, just ask them why Biden never released the Epstein files the four years he was in office.
SNL just isn’t funny anymore.
Quite.
Bingo. Exactly why SNL is no longer funny and a waste of time.
