Saturday Night Live’s season finale opens with a cold sketch in which Will Ferrell appears as the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein, haunting President Trump. In the comedy segment, Trump is played by James Austin Johnson, and the sketch also includes JD Vance, played by Jeremy Culhane, as the setting shifts through an Oval Office encounter. Multiple outlets describe the tone as darkly comic, with the premise centered on Epstein’s continued association with Trump. One recurring element cited by outlets is a musical bit in which the characters sing “Just the Two of Us.” Reports also note that the sketch frames the ghostly appearance as a recurring “haunting,” with dialogue that references how people will continue to link Trump with Epstein. The outlets agree the segment is part of the episode’s opening moments and that Ferrell’s portrayal is a central feature of the cold open.
