\n\tDonald Trump<\/a> bore the brunt of the \u201cSNL U.K.<\/a>\u201d Weekend Update on Saturday, with co-hosts Paddy Young and Ania Magliano joking that the President had shat himself ahead of the White House Correspondents Dinner attack.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter describing the gunman\u2019s storming of the Washington event as \u201can undeniably terrifying event,\u201d Magliano delivered the punchline: \u201cPresident Donald Trump shat himself\u201d \u2013 and, she noted, \u201cminutes later the shots rang out.\u201d Young added that Melania Trump<\/a> was swift to admonish anyone making light of the incident \u2013 \u201cwe\u2019re real people,\u201d she said, while \u201cblinking sideways.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe segment opened with the King Charles<\/a> and Queen Camilla state visit to Washington. Young said Charles had presented Trump with an engraved bell and that, ideally, the President would wear it \u201con a collar like a cat to warn young women that he\u2019s approaching.\u201d Magliano described Camilla\u2019s bejewelled necklace as \u201cDiana\u2019s horcrux\u201d and reported that her fuchsia gown color complemented \u201cKing Charles\u2019s iconic hot pink fingers,\u201d while Melania had greeted the King with a kiss, \u201cclicking her jaw against his to spell out, save me in Morse code.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA fake professional lip reader appeared as a guest to decode conversations between the leaders, with results that had little to do with diplomacy. His readings had Trump and Charles debating whether they would rather have a prawn growing from their neck or no neck at all, while Melania and Camilla were apparently locked in debate over potato chips flavors.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the local front, Magliano took aim at Reform U.K. party leader Nigel Farage\u2019s failure to declare a \u00a35 million ($6.7 million) donation from Christopher Harborne, a Thailand-based crypto billionaire. \u201cIf found negligent by the Electoral Commission, Farage could face an email of up to 400 words,\u201d Young said. Reform\u2019s position, Magliano noted, was that the donation was a purely personal gift requiring no declaration \u2013 but for \u00a35 million, she said, \u201cNigel must have been providing some sort of valuable service.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s why Nigel Farage is my power bottom of the week,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n

\n\tOther targets included a new endometriosis scanning technique that Magliano said would be made available to women \u201cjust as soon as doctors work out how to make it incredibly painful,\u201d and a survey finding that 39% of young Brits living at home report reduced sexual activity. \u201cSo if you want to keep having sex with your parents, move out,\u201d Magliano said. A West Ham soccer team supporter who cooked a steak on a train with hair straighteners prompted a pun from Young: \u201cThere was a bit of beef, but I straightened it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe segment also mocked the lineup for the next series of \u201cCelebrity Traitors,\u201d which Young noted includes Maya Jama, James Acaster and Ayatollah Khomeini. \u201cI\u2019ll be honest, I didn\u2019t really like \u2018Celebrity Traitors,’\u201d Young added. \u201cThat\u2019s why I call all those pigs who turned their back on [disgraced MasterChef host] Greg Wallace.\u201d <\/p>\n
