SNL Cold Open: Melania Trump Denies Epstein Connection and Tiger Woods DUI Chat
The latest episode of Saturday Night Live opened with a sketch poking fun at Melania Trump's sudden message about Jeffrey Epstein and the ongoing peace talks between Iran and the U.S. The cold open featured James Austin Johnson as President Donald Trump making a call to Tiger Woods, played by Kenan Thompson, for a light-hearted chat about the golfer's recent DUI incident. Melania Trump, portrayed by Chloe Fineman, unexpectedly calls Trump to deny any ties to Epstein and the Gilgo Beach serial killer, much to Trump's confusion. Trump then contacts Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, played by Colin Jost, to discuss the Iran negotiations, with a humorous twist involving Vice President JD Vance as the "secret weapon." The sketch was filled with witty banter and comedic moments, typical of SNL's satirical style.
