SNL UK Jokes Donald Trump 'S*** Himself' Before WHCD Shooting

Saturday Night Live UK and Weekend Update cohost Ania Magliano addressed one of the week’s most talked-about moments with a pointed jab at PresidentDonald Trump. The comedian delivered a joke that connected the president’s age to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, sparking fresh conversation about the boundaries of political humor in the wake of the incident.

SNL UK jokes about Donald Trump and WHCD shooting

Saturday Night Live UK targeted President Donald Trump with jokes referencing the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting,Deadlinereports. Weekend Update cohost Ania Magliano delivered the punchline during the Saturday, May 2 episode. “For all those in attendance, it was an undeniably terrifying event,” Magliano began. “President Trump shat himself. Minutes later, the shots rang out.”

The latest episode featured host Aimee Lou Wood of The White Lotus alongside musical guest MEEK. A sketch opened the show with King Charles III (Larry Dean) and Queen Camilla (Emma Sidi) celebrating their U.S. state visit. “There’s no way Donald Trump will do anything weird or bad ever again,” the Queen quipped during the cold open.

The SNL UK jokes follow Jimmy Kimmel facing backlash for his own Trump-related humor. During a faux-WHCD roast on April 23, Kimmel said first lady Melania Trump had a “glow like an expectant widow.” Two days later, Cole Tomas Allen allegedly opened fire at the Washington Hilton’s security checkpoint. A Secret Service officer was struck in his protective vest during the incident.

Allen, 31, faces charges including attempting to assassinate the President of the United States. The Justice Department also charged him with transporting a firearm in interstate commerce with felonious intent. He has not yet entered a plea in the case.

Both Melania, 56, and Donald, 79, released separate statements on April 27 calling for Kimmel’s firing. “Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country,” Melania tweeted.

Kimmel responded that same night, insisting his joke targeted Trump’s age, not advocating violence. Republican Senator Ted Cruz and commentator Candace Owens have offered the late-night host unlikely support amid ongoing calls from the president to cancel his show.

Young Europeans turn to AI chatbots for emotional support, survey shows

Young Europeans turn to AI chatbots for emotional support, survey shows

By Lucie Barbier and Leo Marchandon

Reuters

May 5 (Reuters) - Nearly one in two young people in Europe have used AI chatbots to discuss intimate or personal matters, as the ‌technology increasingly serves as a source of emotional support, an Ipsos BVA survey showed ‌on Tuesday.

Of the 3,800 people surveyed, 51% said it was "easy" to discuss mental health and personal issues with a chatbot. ​Only 49% said the same about healthcare professionals and 37% about psychologists.

People close to you were at the top of the list, with 68% saying it was easy to discuss issues with friends and 61% with parents.

The survey, commissioned by France's privacy watchdog CNIL and insurer Groupe VYV, was carried ‌out among people aged 11 to ⁠25 across France, Germany, Sweden and Ireland in early 2026.

The findings showcased growing concerns over young people's mental health. About 28% of respondents met the threshold ⁠for suspected generalized anxiety disorder, the survey found.

Around 90% of those surveyed had used artificial intelligence tools before, with many citing their constant availability and non-judgmental nature. More than three in five users described ​AI as ​a "life adviser" or a "confidant".

However, concerns over the psychological impact ​ofAI toolshave also grown ‌over the past year, and experts have warned about the limitations of AI in detecting human emotions and safely providing emotional support.

Earlier this year, the family of a Florida man sued Google, alleging its Gemini AI chatbot contributed to his paranoia and eventual suicide.

The results of the survey were not a surprise, said Ludwig Franke Föyen, a psychologist and digital health researcher at Stockholm's Karolinska Institutet.

Current large ‌language models can produce high-quality responses, Franke Föyen told Reuters, ​adding that his research suggested even licensed professionals may ​struggle to distinguish AI-generated advice from that ​of human experts.

But he warned against relying on chatbots alone for mental health ‌support, saying general-purpose AI systems were designed ​for engagement and companies' ​goals may not align with mental healthcare needs.

"AI can offer information and support, but it should not replace human relationships or professional care," Franke Föyen said.

"If someone turns to a ​chatbot instead of speaking to ‌a parent, a friend, or a mental health professional, that is a concern. We ​do not want technology to make people feel more alone."
