‘SNL’ Weekend Update Roasts Pam Bondi, JD Vance’s Catholicism

Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update roasted Pam Bondi after Donald Trump fired her as attorney general this week, and took aim at Vice President JD Vance’s book about how he decided to become a Catholic at age 34.

“This week, Attorney General Pam Bondi was asked to redact herself from her job,” Colin Jost began. “President Trump reportedly fired Bondi over her handling of the Epstein files, because the only person Trump has trusted to handle the Epstein situation was a prison guard with the cameras off.”

Jost then alluded to an undated photo from the Epstein files of Trump with several women whose faces were blacked out.

“If I was Trump, I’d be mad too, if someone took a Sharpie and drew all over my favorite memories,” he joked.

Later, Jost took aim at Vance’s new book, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith.

“The Catholic Church is calling it, ‘Somehow the worst publicity we’ve ever had,’” he joked.

Vance’s views on immigration were criticized by Pope Francis, and Pope Leo XIV has done the same.

Last February, at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, Vance called himself a “baby Catholic,” acknowledging there are “things about the faith that I don’t know.”

Also in the segment, co-anchor Michael Che took a shot at Trump—figuratively speaking.

“Trump went to the opening night of Chicago at the Kennedy Center, and I think that’s cool—that the president is going to the theater,” he said suggestively. “I mean, what’s the worst that could happen?”
