Ania Magliano and Paddy Young, the hosts of Weekend Update on “SNL U.K.,” enlisted Jimmy Fallon in this week’s episode to roast Jeffrey Epstein, Benson Boone and Lily Allen, among others, “to boost our ratings,” they joked.

After Magliano remarked, “It may seem like Britain and the United States have drifted apart. The special relationship is in trouble,” Fallon appeared from beneath the desk to place his hand on those of the hosts during the “Hand in Hand” sequence. “We’re just two hosts, sat next to a more famous host, asking him to boost our ratings,” Young said.
