New York Assemblymember Harvey Epstein has garnered attention after being humorously portrayed by comedian John Mulaney in a recent Saturday Night Live sketch, which poked fun at his name's unfortunate associations with notorious figures Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein. The parody ad emphasized Epstein's assertion that he is 'not those guys,' and highlighted the challenges he faces due to his name. Epstein reacted positively to the sketch, finding it hilarious and using the moment to promote awareness for the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network. He mentioned that he appreciates the humor and aims to address serious issues related to domestic violence. The skit aired just before the 2024 presidential election, showcasing local political humor amidst national concerns. Epstein's candidacy for the New York City Council continues, with the attention from SNL potentially benefiting his campaign.
