SNL Weekend Update goes after redacted Epstein files
The last SNL of the year kept making jabs at the redacted Epstein files that dropped on Friday (followed by a disappearance of some of them by Saturday). First, an Epstein-heavy cold open with James Austin Johnson's Donald Trump, and then a Weekend Update filled with references to the disgraced financier.
Anchor Colin Jost joked that it's the time of year when we're all talking about "the man who flies through the air to visit children all over the world"...Jeffrey Epstein. Fellow anchor Michael Che then assumed that the Department of Justice couldn't release all the files on Friday because they "ran out of black ink."

They also made fun of Vanity Fair's interview with White House officials, like Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, who said Trump had an "alcoholic's personality."
"Hey, don't you dare compare him to my friend, Michael Che," Jost said.
SNL links Epstein with Kennedy Center renaming in Christmas cold open
For the last SNL of the year, President Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) got into a festive mood — by talking about Jeffrey Epstein for the umpteenth time.
The cold open wasn't the first time SNL mentioned Epstein, even in cold opens. But it was the first episode since the recent release of new files pertaining to Epstein on Friday, followed by the quick removal of some of them on Saturday.

He discussed the recent renaming of the Kennedy Center to include his own name, and ribbed that it'll also happen to the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. He said he's putting his name on so many buildings "because we had to take it off of so many files," referencing the heavily redacted Epstein files.
"We had so many Trumps in there, we had to put them somewhere," SNL's Trump said.
The rambling cold open also mentions Trump's announcement of the Hunger Games-like Patriot Games, Venezuela, and somehow, the Indigo Girls. But there was time to celebrate the season, too. "I'm doing my own version of Nativity now," Johnson's Trump said. "Where kings from the Middle East bring gifts for me like gold and airplane and casino deal in Dubai."
