President Donald Trump (played by James Austin Johnson) got a surprise visit from the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein (played by Will Ferrell) — and it got dark quick — during the cold open of the “Saturday Night Live” season finale.
“Don’t worry, Donald, it’s me — your best friend, Jeffrey Epstein,” began the “SNL” host while donning ghastly attire and haunting Trump during one of his “patented mid-work naps” in the Oval Office.
“Jeffrey? But I thought you were dead?” asked a startled Trump in the sketch.
“I am, remember? I killed myself — wink!” replied the faux Epstein, a not-so-subtle nod to conspiracy theories surrounding the late convicted sex offender’s suicide.
Johnson’s Trump proceeded to catch Ferrell’s Epstein up to speed on his second term, remarking his “approval ratings in the 30s.”
