"Will Ferrell returned to his old stomping grounds for the season 51 finale of Saturday Night Live. Before the show even began in earnest, he was on the stage doing impressions. This time, as a Jacob Marley-esque ghost of Jeffrey Epstein visiting a jetlagged Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson). But don't expect Trump to be visited by three more ghosts and change for the better, Epstein was mostly there to big up his late pal and make jokes about his "suicide (wink!)." The wink is included in the message."
"Did you think there'd only be two impressions in the political cold open? Don't be silly. There's a lot more. Jeremy Culhane as J.D. Vance, Colin Jost as Pete Hegseth, Aziz Ansari returning as Kash Patel, and Ashley Padilla as Kristi Noem. Noem's husband's balloon boobs mentioned but not depicted, alas. "Your administration is so crazy, secret balloon tatas were only a one-day story," Ferrell's Epstein said. To which Trump responded "That's actually worrisome.""

Will Ferrell appeared in the cold open before the show began, performing impressions as a Jacob Marley-esque ghost of Jeffrey Epstein visiting a jetlagged Donald Trump. The ghost mostly praised Epstein’s late friend and made jokes, including a wink tied to Epstein’s suicide. Trump responded with concern about the implications of the jokes. Additional political impressions followed, including J.D. Vance, Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, and Kristi Noem. Noem’s husband was referenced through a balloon-boobs joke, with the detail mentioned but not shown. The cold open relied on rapid character impersonations and escalating absurd political humor.
