Melania Trump is searching for new friends in the SNL UK cold open, heading to a garden BBQ in Croydon. Cast members Al Nash, Annabel Marlow, and Jack Shep relax in a London garden playing “Never Have I Ever” when Melania Trump (Emma Sidi) appears from a hedge, saying “Never have I ever been friends with Jeffrey Epstein.” The skit spoofs the First Lady’s recent speech denying ties with Epstein as Trump/Sidi repeatedly mentions Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, despite the others insisting they weren’t discussed. “Why do you keep bringing up all the Epstein stuff?” Marlow asks. “Yeah, like, your husband literally started a war to distract us from it,” Shep remarks.
