Saturday Night Live brought back Will Forte’s character MacGruber in the episode aired on Nov. 15, unveiling his unsettling connections to the Jeffrey Epstein documents. The episode included three pre-recorded MacGruber segments that adhered to the typical structure: MacGruber, accompanied by aides Colton (host Glen Powell) and Tawnee (Chloe Fineman), tries to disarm a bomb. However, Colton discloses that he possesses an unedited copy of the Epstein documents, and MacGruber’s frantic response and destruction of the files indicate his involvement. This episode prominently centered around Epstein, with the cold open featuring Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) reacting to the release of Epstein emails, and Weekend Update ridiculing Trump’s associations with Epstein.
