Saturday Night Live \u201cWeekend Update\u201d co-anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che both trashed first lady Melania Trump\u2019s documentary, Melania, which was released in theaters nationwide on Friday.<\/p>\n

Late-night comedians have already widely roasted the movie for its nonexistent ticket sales<\/a>, poor critical reception<\/a>, and the lackluster collection of celebrities<\/a> who appeared at the movie\u2019s special premiere. <\/p>\n

“This week, a documentary about Melania Trump debuted in theaters,” said Jost. \u201cIt\u2019s titled Wicked: For Real.”<\/p>\n

Michael Che added, \u201cMelania was directed by Rush Hour director Brett Ratner, which explains this scene\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Che showed viewers a clip from Rush Hour in which Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) yelled, \u201cDo you speak any English? Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth!?\u201d at an edited-in Melania. <\/p>\n

In addition to facing multiple allegations of sexual assault and harassment<\/a> in 2017, Ratner has also popped up in the Epstein files, including the most recent batch, which included photos of the two cuddled up on a couch<\/a> with several women whose faces were blacked out.<\/p>\n

Melania was also referenced in a sketch earlier in the episode, in which Ashley Padilla played a Trump voter who confessed she had changed her mind about the president. <\/p>\n

She told her family, \u201cI swear to God, if I hear a single \u2018I told you so,\u2019 I will go see the Melania movie tonight!\u201d<\/p>\n

Colin Jost also alluded to the Jeffrey Epstein files that were released on Saturday:<\/p>\n

\u201cMinnesota Governor Tim Walz compared<\/a> the Trump administration\u2019s immigration crackdown to the Nazi occupation described in The Diary of Anne Frank,\u201c said Jost. <\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cBut remember, this administration has always ignored the stories told by young girls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jost showed a picture of Epstein as he said this, garnering both laughs and groans from the crowd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saturday Night Live \u201cWeekend Update\u201d co-anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che both trashed first lady Melania Trump\u2019s documentary,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":447414,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,28367,75,22148,64776,28370,28371,34566,1788],"class_list":["post-447413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-colin-jost","tag-entertainment","tag-late-night","tag-melania-trump","tag-michael-che","tag-saturday-night-live","tag-snl","tag-television"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=447413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/447414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=447413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=447413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=447413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
