Will Ferrell’s Ghost of Jeffrey Epstein Reunites with His Buddy Donald Trump on SNL

Donald Trump was visited by the Ghost of Jeffrey Epstein during the cold open of Saturday Night Live’s Season 51 finale. The convicted sex offender appeared after the president (James Austin Johnson) fell asleep following his whirlwind trip to China.

“Don’t worry, Donald, it’s me, your best friend, Jeffrey Epstein,” Ferrell’s Epstein says. After the two get reacquainted, including Epstein turning down Trump’s high-five (“You know what? This time I’m gonna leave you hanging”), Epstein reveals the president’s future six months from now, specifically as it relates to the standing of Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, and Kash Patel.

“But Donnie, just remember: no matter how many wars you start or how bad you tank the economy as a distraction, people will always associate you with me. And that, my dear close friend… that is a beautiful thing,” Epstein concludes, before the two join together for a duet of “Just the Two of Us.”
