Overview
- During the Dec. 6 broadcast, Colin Jost referenced the newly released photos and quipped that many of Jeffrey Epstein’s “girlfriends” still had braces.
- The audience audibly groaned, and Jost replied, “Oh, so you think the victims should have crooked teeth?”
- Social media reactions were split, with some praising the segment and others calling the braces joke offensive or unfunny.
- Michael Che and Jost also delivered political jokes in the same Weekend Update, targeting Donald Trump, Kristi Noem and FIFA/World Cup topics.
- The House Oversight Committee earlier in the week released previously unseen photos and videos from Epstein’s private island, including an image of a large room with a dental chair and masks on the walls.
