The fourth episode of “Saturday Night Live UK” opened with a sketch that parodied both Melania Trump’s comments about Jeffrey Epstein and Kanye West’s Wireless Festival controversy.
The sketch began with Jack Shepp, Al Nash, and Annabel Marlowe enjoying some rare London sunshine and playing a game of “Never Have I Ever.”
“I’ve never kissed two boys in one night,” Shep says, to which Marlowe replies, “Guilty!”
But after that, the match took a turn for the worse. “I’ve never accidentally booked a neo-Nazi to headline a music festival for three nights,” Marlowe says, referring to the recently canceled Wireless Festival, which West was scheduled to headline.
“Young lady, I told you not to bring that up!” Shep shoots back.
Melania Trump, played by Emma Siddy, then appears from behind the bushes. “I was never friends with Jeffrey Epstein!” she yelled, startling the other three. Sidi, who plays Melania, then proposes a game of “Truth or Dare,” which begins, “Can you really criticize me for my female friendship with short-haired sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell?”
“Why do you keep bringing up Epstein?” Marlowe asked, and Shep added, “Why do you keep bringing up Epstein?” “Yes, your husband literally started a war to distract us all from it.”
Earlier this week, President Trump made a surprise statement about Epstein, saying he had never had a relationship with Epstein or Maxwell. “The lies linking me to the disgraced Jeffrey Epstein must end today,” the first lady said.
At the end of the SNL UK skit, Sidi’s character Melania begs her new friends for “one last chance”, saying she won’t have another chance “because they all died in a maximum security prison”.
To prove it, she offers “two truths and one lie.” “I love new friends, I love poor people – wink, wink – and I live from London, it’s Saturday night!”
