New York Assemblymember Harvey Epstein and New York City Council hopeful shared a light-hearted moment about a “Saturday Night Live” skit that poked fun at Epstein’s name.
“I agree with John [Mulaney]… let’s not call it Epstein’s Island,” Epstein wrote on social media, referencing a joke in the skit.
Mulaney, portraying Epstein in the skit, humorously addressed the challenges of sharing a name with Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein.
The skit portrayed Harvey Epstein as a distinct individual from Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein, with fake New Yorkers supporting him for various reasons.
The narrator highlighted Harvey Epstein’s advocacy for miners, with a humorous clarification from Mulaney.
The skit concluded with a playful reference to making New York “Epstein’s island,” alluding to Jeffrey Epstein’s private island.
