'SNL' cold open has Will Ferrell as the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein
Saturday Night Live wrapped up its 51st season this weekend, with longtime cast member Will Ferrell returning for his sixth time as host. The Iconic Paul McCartney joined as musical guest, and it didn't take long for Ferrell to make an appearance in a sketch.
After a week off from the cold open, James Austin Johnson returned as President Donald Trump. The opening sketch also saw a return from Jeremy Culhane as Vice President J.D. Vance, Ashley Padilla as Kristi Noem, Colin Jost as Pete Hegseth and Aziz Ansari as FBI Director Kash Patel.
Ferrell made his first appearance as part of the cold open, playing Jeffrey Epstein as a ghost. The character was showing President Trump some visions of the future, including where current cabinet members would be in six months.

"In case you're curious, like all ghosts, I have the power to show you visions of the future," Ferrell said. Johnson's Trump immediately replied, "Wow, I'm surprised there Is one."
