Colin Jost Comments on Trump and Pam Bondi’s Handling of Epstein Files on SNL

During a recent ‘Weekend Update’ segment on Saturday Night Live, host Colin Jost humorously addressed former President Donald Trump’s decision to fire Attorney General Pam Bondi. Bondi’s dismissal reportedly related to her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case files. Jost jokingly suggested that Trump trusted only a prison guard with cameras turned off to manage the Epstein situation, referencing the widespread ‘Epstein didn’t kill himself’ conspiracy theory. The crowd responded with audible groans to the quip. Jost also made light of the Justice Department’s heavily-redacted files, saying he understood why Trump would be upset if someone used a Sharpie on his ‘favorite memories.’ Co-host Michael Che also mocked Trump’s description of his proposed Iran war as a ‘little journey,’ linking it to the rising cost of living and $6 per gallon gas prices. The segment combined topical political commentary with humor, highlighting both Trump’s controversial decisions and the cultural impact of his rhetoric. The ‘Weekend Update’ segment used satire to engage viewers with current political news, illustrating how comedy can address serious topics in a digestible format.
