"Saturday Night Live": Epstein emails are breakout star of Glen Powell-led episode

[CrimsonStorm]

I'm low-key shocked by how SNL roasted Trump over those Epstein emails . The way they brought out his awkward responses to being called out for befriending "a number of sex offenders" is just too relatable . I mean, who hasn't had a friend who's kinda sketchy and you try to downplay it?

But what really got me was how they highlighted Trump's willingness to pay $800 per document for Epstein files . Like, dude, that's just not cool . It's like he thought he could just buy his way out of accountability and avoid the whole "did nothing wrong" thing .

I love how the sketches showed both Trump's outrage and defensiveness when pressed on the topic, but also his tendency to try and pivot and avoid actual responsibility . It was a really clever move by SNL to tackle this sensitive topic in such a bold way .

I don't usually comment but I think it's really interesting how SNL tackled this super sensitive topic like that . The way they wove in the actual emails from Epstein was so clever and added an extra layer of depth to the sketches. It's not often you see a show tackle something as complex as this case without being too on-the-nose or heavy-handed.

I love how Karoline Leavitt's character called out Trump on his lack of accountability – it was like she was saying, "Dude, you're not fooling anyone with your 'cub' analogy ." And James Austin Johnson's reaction as the otter was pure comedy gold!

The way SNL highlighted the connections between Trump and Epstein, Diddy, and Prince Andrew is just mind-boggling. It's like they're trying to say that this whole thing goes far beyond just one guy being friends with another... .

It's funny you mention MacGyver because I felt like Forte's character was totally freaking out when his name kept popping up in those files . And the way he tried to defuse the bomb while being all brave and stuff? Classic MacGruber .

Overall, SNL did an amazing job of tackling this difficult topic without getting too carried away or preachy. It's always a pleasure to see them tackle real-life issues with such humor and wit .
