Jack Whitehall’s SNL U.K. Monologue Mines His Wedding and Scott Mills for Laughs

The jokes pulled a recent BBC scandal into a mass-audience sketch show.

Overview

  • Jack Whitehall hosted SNL U.K. and centered his opening monologue on his upcoming wedding with self-deprecating jokes.
  • He joked he had booked Scott Mills as his wedding DJ, referencing the BBC presenter’s recent firing and a 2018 police interview reported earlier this month.
  • Other lines touched on Prince Andrew, a bargain honeymoon on the Strait of Hormuz, and his fiancée’s hen night in Soho.
  • The monologue did not add new allegations about Mills beyond what news outlets have already reported.
  • This was the fourth episode of the series and the last before a one-week pause, with SNL U.K. set to return on April 25.
