29 Mar
Summary
- Sketch features Prince Andrew tasked with making King Charles III likeable.
- Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Mandelson feature in the Prince Andrew sketch.
- Code word 'Pizza Express Woking' references Prince Andrew's alibi.
Saturday Night Live UK's second episode featured a cold open targeting Prince Andrew. The satirical sketch imagined a 29-year plan, initiated in 1997, to enhance the likability of the future King Charles III. Prince Andrew, portrayed by Jack Shep, was depicted consulting with MI5 agents.
During the sketch, Prince Andrew's plan involved befriending Jeffrey Epstein, a notorious figure, and Peter Mandelson, a politician. Both individuals have recently faced legal scrutiny. The sketch concluded with agents providing Prince Andrew a code word, 'Pizza Express Woking,' referencing his widely discussed alibi.
The show, now in its second week and hosted by Jamie Dornan, has received generally positive reviews and strong viewership. Previous skits have humorously addressed UK political figures. SNL UK airs for seven weeks on Saturdays, with episodes available on Peacock in the US the following day.
