British President Donald Trump’s recent change of hairstyle became the target of sharp satire during the latest episode of “Saturday Night Live U.K.,” with co-anchor Paddy Young alleging that production lawyers prevented him from delivering a specific punchline.
During the Weekend Update segment, co-anchor Ania Magliano opened the critique of the U.S. leader’s appearance. “This week, President Trump stepped off Air Force One sporting a different hair color,” she remarked. “He appears to be trialling a new shade of brown. Or, he’s shat his head.”
SNL UK has no boundaries compared to the US version. This was sharp, witty, and properly brutal. Love it.
Does anyone know what the specific punchline was? It feels like a missed opportunity for proper satire.
I did a double-take when he said that. Trump really does look like he dyed it himself.
The lawyer-blocked joke is actually the funniest part of the entire segment. Classic British press censorship!
