According to reports, the speech interrupted the finale of The Masked Singer. “It’s really too bad,” Jost said, “because Trump would have found out that Cat Witch was revealed to be the new Ayatollah.”
Jost’s segment then shifted to commentary on Pam Bondi’s reported firing in connection with her handling of the Epstein files. Referring to the broader controversy, Jost said that Trump was upset because “the only person Trump has ever trusted to handle the Epstein situation is a prison guard with the cameras off.” He added, “I kind of understand. I mean, if I was Trump, I’d be mad too if someone took a Sharpie and drew all over my favorite memories.”
