“SNL U.K.’s” Weekend Update returned for its second week, featuring sharp commentary on the mixed signals from the U.S. and Iran regarding a potential peace deal, the passing of OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky, and other topics.
Paddy Young opened the segment with a witty remark on the contradictory statements from Trump and Iran about reaching a peace agreement in the ongoing conflict.
“While Trump has been insisting that Iran is eager for a deal, an Iranian military spokesperson has declared, ‘Our first and last word from the very first day has been, is and will remain: Someone like us will never come to terms with someone like you. Not now and not ever,'” Young stated, humorously adding, “Oh my God, just kiss already!”
The segment later addressed the death of OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky. “So gentlemen, when you’re visiting the site this week, lower your penises to half mast,” Young quipped. “Beautiful funeral, by the way. Wasn’t a dry tissue in the house.”
Young and co-anchor Ania Magliano introduced a new segment titled “hand-in-hand,” where they shared uplifting news amid the prevailing negativity. “And now, it seems like the whole world is at war. Russia and Ukraine, the Middle East, Chappell Roan and that tiny girl,” Magliano remarked. “War. We could just be making jokes about it. But first, we just want to check: Are you OK?”
“This is hand-in-hand with Anya and Pad,” Young said. “We’re here to tell you that it’s going to be OK,” Magliano added, with Young completing the thought: “Because we’ve got each other.”
“World War III. Sounds scary, huh? But we’ve already had two,” Magliano continued. “And don’t they say good things come in threes?”
Continuing on the topic, Magliano noted, “if London gets bombed, house prices will drop.”
“And so will house numbers,” she added. “We’ll all get to live across the two houses that are left. Like in ‘Friends’!”
