‘SNL UK’ weekend update focuses on Katy Perry’s ‘Stupid Moron’ mask

This week’s “SNL UK” Weekend Update focused on Met Gala attendees for Episode 7, with co-host Ania Magliano saying this year’s theme was “people you’d like to see explode.”

“Beyonce looked fantastic,” she said, adding of the singer’s fancy silver headpiece: “Someone made the most of Claire’s closing sale” (a reference to the closure of all Claire’s Accessories stores in Britain). Magliano then moved on to Katy Perry’s outfit, which she described as: “a terrifying mirror mask that covers her entire face, symbolizing what it’s like to live like a stupid idiot.”

After the Met Gala, Magliano also read a headline about former “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here” winner Scarlet Moffat, who had revealed that she “really enjoyed eating camel penis” during her time on the show. “And for those of you interested in showbiz jargon, on TV we call auditioning ‘eating a penis,'” the “SNL UK” cast member joked.

Meanwhile, co-host Paddy Young noted that famed natural history broadcaster David Attenborough turned 100 years old yesterday. “To celebrate his milestone birthday, London Zoo told him he can finally choose one animal and make love to celebrate,” Young said.

The hosts of “Weekend Update” then welcomed fellow cast member Hammed Animashaun. Dressed as a rhino, Animashaun revealed he had a falling out with Attenborough after blaming the naturalist for his mother being shot by poachers.

At that moment, Fouracres, reprising his role as Attenborough, ran onto the stage dressed in WWE-style spandex and began wrestling Animashaun. Soon other castmates, also dressed as wild animals, joined in and Magliano and Young began providing commentary as if it were a wrestling match. “I’ve never seen anything like this on Weekend Update,” the co-hosts were amazed.

“Ted Lasso” star Hannah Waddingham hosted the seventh and penultimate episode of “SNL UK,” which concludes its season next week. In her opening monologue, she jokingly compared her hit Apple TV show “Ted Lasso” to “SNL UK,” saying, “Rich Americans working together, team spirit and communal showers, yeah, that was surprising and excellent.”

She added: “Brett Goldstein is a very hairy man.”
