\n

\n\tSaturday Night Live<\/em> closed out its 51st season on Saturday night, where Will Ferrell returned to host the long-running sketch comedy series<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tBefore his opening monologue, the You\u2019re Cordially Invited<\/em> actor app<\/a>eared in the cold open alongside James Austin Johnson\u2019s Trump, where he portrayed a ghostly Jeffrey Epstein. <\/p>\n

\n\tUpon returning from his trip<\/a> to China, the faux president opted to get some rest and took a nap \u201con this gold bar that Switzerland gave me as a straight-up bribe.\u201d As he drifted off to sleep, a cloudy vision of none other than Epstein popped up, in ghost form. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDon\u2019t worry, Donald, it\u2019s me, your best friend, Jeffrey Epstein,\u201d he said. \u201cJeffrey, I thought you were dead,\u201d Johnson\u2019s Trump replied.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am, remember? I killed myself. Wink!<\/em>\u201d Ferrell\u2019s Epstein added. The two began to catch up, as Trump asked Epstein how heaven was. \u201cIt\u2019s really hot,\u201d he revealed. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou know me, I keep busy, mahjong every Wednesday with Stalin and John Wayne Gacy. That guy has stories,\u201d Ferrell\u2019s Epstein said. \u201cWhat else? Oh, I just wrote for the Kevin Hart roast. Had some zingers in there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTrump gave him a run-down on his \u201cfun summer plans,\u201d which include this year\u2019s \u201cPatriot Game<\/a>s,\u201d which will assemble a group of high school athletes from every state and territory.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWell, you know, we\u2019ve got the World Cup UFC fight on my lawn like I\u2019m white trash on WorldStar, and we\u2019re also doing the Patriot Games where high school athletes come from all over the country,\u201d Johnson\u2019s Trump said. \u201cBo-oi-oi-oi-oing,\u201d Ferrell\u2019s Epstein replied.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe had some fun times together, didn\u2019t we, Donny? We should have taken more pictures,\u201d he added. \u201cNo, it\u2019s really bad that we took any,\u201d Johnson\u2019s Trump asserted. <\/p>\n

\n\tFerrell\u2019s Epstein proclaimed that he could see in the future, and offered to show Trump what Kristi Noem (Ashley Padilla) would be up to in six months after being fired earlier this year.\u00a0Turns out, she will be selling products on TV. He also offered a look into Pete Hegseth\u2019s (Colin Jost) future, who was partying with Kash Patel, marking the third week in a row that Aziz Ansari joined the cold open to portray the director of the FBI.<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore Trump and Epstein parted ways once more, they performed a duet to the tune of Grover Washington Jr.\u2019s \u201cJust the Two of Us.\u201d But before that, Ferrell\u2019s Epstein left him with a distinct message: \u201cWell, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tChad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers crashed Ferrell\u2019s monologue before the actor had a chance to make it on stage. Musical guest Paul McCartney, too, made a brief appearance. To add to the episode\u2019s star-studded cameos, Ferrell\u2019s Superstar<\/em> co-star Molly Shannon also popped up in a later sketch.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe six-time Emmy Award winner made his sixth hosting appearance with the season 51 finale. He, of course, used to be an SNL<\/em> castmember from 1995-2002, and went on to make his debut as host in 2005. He has made a number of cameos on the show throughout the years, and also appeared in the SNL<\/em>\u2018s 50th Anniversary Special<\/em> in February of last yaer.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith Ferrell as host, McCartney joined as the finale\u2019s musical guest.<\/p>\n

\n\tMore to come.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
