SNL UK Cold Open Parody Melania Trump, Kanye West’s Epstein Statement

The fourth episode of “Saturday Night Live UK” opened with a skit that made fun of both Melania Trump’s statement about Jeffrey Epstein and Kanye West’s Wireless Festival controversy.

The sketch started with Jack Shep, Al Nash and Annabel Marlow enjoying the rare London sunshine and playing a game of ‘Never Have I Ever’.

“I’ve never kissed two guys in one night,” Shep offers, to which Marlow replies, “Guilty!”

But then the game gets darker. “I’ve never accidentally booked a neo-Nazi to headline a music festival for three nights,” says Marlow, referring to the recently canceled Wireless Festival, which West was set to headline.

“Girl, you said you wouldn’t bring that up!” Shep fires back.

Melania Trump then appears from behind a bush, played by Emma Sidi. “I’ve never been friends with Jeffrey Epstein!” she exclaims, to the surprise of the other three. Sidi as Melania then proposes a game of “Truth or Dare,” starting with, “How dare you accuse me of female friendship with short-haired sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell?”

“Why do you keep bringing up all this Epstein stuff?” Marlow asks, as Shep adds, “Yes, your husband literally started a war to distract us all from it.”

Earlier this week, Trump made a seemingly unexpected statement about Epstein, saying she never had a relationship with him 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 Melania then begs for “one last chance” with her new friends, saying she doesn’t have it anymore “as they all died in a maximum security prison.”

To prove it, she offers “two truths and a lie”: “I love my new friends, I love poor people – wink, wink – and living from London, it’s Saturday night!”
