Will Ferrell confronts his look-alike during his SNL monologue
Saturday Night Live had its Season 51 finale over the weekend as former cast member Will Ferrell hosted the show for his sixth time.
However, before Ferrell could come out and perform his hosting duties, Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers attempted a coup. Smith came out first to open the show, hitting the stage and acting as if he were Ferrell. There’s been a long-running joke that Ferrell and Smith, the drummer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, bear a striking resemblance to each other, and SNL continued the gag on its final show of the season.
Shortly after Smith thanked the audience, Ferrell came out dressed exactly like Smith, claiming the drummer had attacked him backstage as part of his takeover attempt.
Ferrell convinces Smith to get off the stage but the former SNL cast member acts as if the whole ordeal has thrown for a loop and has trouble getting back to his duties as host. Ferrell decides to take questions from the audience, and the first question is from a very casual audience member – Sir Paul McCartney.
The legendary musician believes that Ferrell is actually the imposter Smith and demands Ferrell leave the stage and get back to his drum set, where he belongs.

Ghost of Jeffrey Epstein visits Trump in the SNL season finale cold open
Just because it’s the middle of Spring doesn’t mean we can’t get a little parody of “A Christmas Carol” on Saturday Night Live in May.
In the season 51 finale of SNL on Saturday, President Donald Trump, played by cast member James Austin Johnson, falls asleep in the Oval Office. However, Trump is soon visited by the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein, played by host Will Ferrell.
Ferrell’s Epstein gives Trump a look into the future, offering the president a peek at what his cabinet members, past and present, will be up to, ostensibly, after they leave their positions. The cold open also features Ashley Padilla as former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Colin Jost as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Aziz Ansari as FBI Director Kash Patel.

Colin Jost and Michael Che swap Weekend Update jokes in SNL season finale
Tradition continues on Weekend Update.
On the season 51 finale of Saturday Night Live, Colin Jost and Michael Che continued their long-running gag of writing each other’s jokes to cap the season’s last Weekend Update.
From penis jokes to Michael Jackson references, Jost and Che made sure this season’s Weekend Update joke swap was as brutal as ever. Also, it seems like Jost just promised a big hairstyle change, courtesy of what Che wrote for him to say, of course.

Elon Musks SpaceX could go public by next month
Elon Musk’s space exploration company, SpaceX, could be going public sooner than many expected.
According to a new report from Reuters, SpaceX is “accelerating” its IPO launch in hopes of going public next month. SpaceX is aiming to make the official announcement this week to promote the IPO launch to potential investors in June.
Musk’s space company is eyeing a June 12 listing date, with an early share sale the day before. SpaceX would be listed under the SPCX ticker on Nasdaq.
Mashable Light Speed
According to previous reports, SpaceX is seeking a valuation of more than $1.75 trillionMusk and the company have recently made moves that clearly show intent to launch SpaceX as a publicly traded company. Earlier this year, Musk’s SpaceX acquired Musk’s AI company xAI in order to bolster the combined company’s value.
In addition, recently announced deals between SpaceX and big tech and AI companies would certainly be eye-catching for potential investors.
Just last week, a report found that Google was in talks with SpaceX to launch rockets into space for orbital AI data centers. Musk previously touted these data centers in space as essential for future AI technology and a prime reason as to why SpaceX needed to acquire xAI. Prior to that news report, AI company Anthropic and SpaceX announced a partnership that included potential orbital AI data centers.
All signs point to SpaceX going public – and very soon. The only thing that’s unclear at this time is exactly what date the IPO launch will take place. And, it seems we may also know that in the near future, too.
