During the "Weekend Update" segment, co-hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che took aim at Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is currently facing sex-trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges, and Prince Andrew, who was friends with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
"Saturday Night Live" spared no one during its latest episode, with co-hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che mercilessly roasting Sean "Diddy" Combs and Prince Andrew in the show's "Weekend Update" segment.
Diddy, who is currently behind bars for sex-trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges, found himself on the receiving end of several cutting jokes. Che kicked things off by noting, "It was reported that last month, the U.S. added 245,000 new jobs. Unfortunately, they were all 'Diddy Accuser.'" The quip elicited a mix of laughter and gasps from the audience, highlighting the seriousness of Diddy's legal troubles.

Jost, not wanting to miss out on the fun, quipped, "It was announced that Sean P. Diddy Combs' sex trafficking case has been assigned to a new judge, one that Diddy hopes is cool with rapes." The joke was a scathing indictment of the music mogul's alleged crimes, leaving no room for sympathy.
In a surprising twist, Prince Andrew, the younger brother of King Charles, also became the subject of Che's wit. In the wake of Diddy's arrest, an old interview resurfaced in which the rapper revealed that he had invited Prince William and Prince Harry to his parties when they were younger.

Che wasted no time in pouncing on this revelation, saying, "It was reported that Diddy once invited Prince Harry and Prince William to one of his parties, but they did not go. Although before Diddy could even finish writing the invite, Prince Andrew was there." The joke drew a parallel between Diddy's alleged predilection for young women and Prince Andrew's friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Jost then added, "Each article should have at least 10 paragraphs." The inclusion of this seemingly random instruction into the joke left viewers perplexed and unsure how to react.
