Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update took on the Trump administration’s many redactions in the Jeffrey Epstein files it has been ordered to produce, as well as the president’s top officials like Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Friday was the deadline to comply with the law that Trump himself signed, yet Deputy Attorney Blanche told Fox News that the Justice Department will publicize additional files “over the next couple weeks.” Some pages that are currently public are entirely unreadable.
“I guess they kept running out of black ink,” co-host Michael Che joked.
“Those files were so boring, the only interesting thing I saw was this picture of Bill Clinton hugged up on Melania,” he added, as a photo showed of the former president with his arm around Michael Jackson.
“Honestly, it’s not fair. Donald Trump was my favorite character in the Epstein files,” Colin Jost added. “It’s like when House of Cards stopped starring Kevin Spacey—probably because he had booked a recurring role in the Epstein files.”
Later, Jost addressed Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. About his appearance, Jost said he was very close to blackface.
“Kennedy announced that the federal government will pull funding from hospitals that offer gender-affirming care to transgender minors. And yet,” Jost said, “RFK is allowed to slowly transition into Wilson the volleyball.”
Jost and Che, as is custom, also had a year-end joke swap—though it was only Jost who read jokes Che had written for him. And once again, Jost’s wife, Scarlett Johansson, was a topic.
“New research shows that millions of women leave the workforce due to menopause, which means there’s only a couple of years left on my gravy train,” Jost said. “My girl already be like, ‘Colin, I’m warm. Colin, I’m sweating.’ B—h, you’re having a hotflash!’”
Che had Jost, 43, go further.
“But don’t worry about me; I’ve got a backup. They don’t call Wednesday ‘hump day’ for nothing,” he said alongside a picture of the character Wednesday Addams, who is played by 23-year-old Jenna Ortega.
