Former cast member Will Forte crashed the latest Saturday Night Live episode as his iconic character MacGruber.
MacGruber once again found himself with a ticking bomb to take care of, but this time he was distracted by a surprisingly timely source: the Epstein files.
“I have a document in my possession that I was going to leak to the press,” said MacGruber’s assistant Colton, played by host Glen Powell.
Colton explained that the document was “something so sensitive, something so powerful, that people would go to any lengths to stop me.”

MacGruber was proud of Colton for holding the powerful accountable, at least until he opened the document and saw that he was in them.

MacGruber evaded the question and told them to look for a needle around the room. As they turned around MacGruber went right to shredding the document.
“This list is too important to have all in one place for some bad guy to steal,” MacGruber explained. “So I’m breaking it up into tiny little pieces, which we can hide in various garbage cans that only we know about.”
