Was Jack Harlow on 'SNL?' One relative certainly thought so

A “Saturday Night Live” impression ofJack Harlowwas so spot on that even his own aunt thought it was actually him.

USA TODAY

The rapper revealed in anInstagram storyon April 13 that a relative mistook “SNL” cast member Ben Marshall for Harlow during an April 11 “Weekend Update” sketch that poked fun at backlash over comments he made about his latest album.

During the segment, “Weekend Update” co‑anchor Michael Che and Marshall, who portrayed Harlow, joked about criticism tied to the release of the rapper’s fourth studio album, "Monica." Specifically, a comment he made to The New York Times about his music getting "Blacker."

Jack Harlow attends the New York City premiere of "Marty Supreme" on Dec. 16, 2025.

“White rapper Jack Harlow recently made headlines for describing the sound of his new album by saying, ‘I got Blacker,’” Che said. “Here to explain himself is Jack Harlow.”

Marshall’s version of Harlow then struggled to talk his way out of the controversy, repeatedly digging himself deeper over the course of the bit. TheKentucky-born rapperdropped the surprise album on March 13, which coincided with his 28th birthday.

Speaking withthe Times on release day, Harlow said he had reached a moment of reflection, explaining that he had “[got] to a point where as much as you’re trying to find your voice, you’re also hoping to escape yourself.”

Harlow said his aunt later texted him to say she was proud of him for going on “Saturday Night Live” and “addressing everything.”

“My aunt that I am related to actually thought that was me,” Harlow said in a now‑expired Instagram story.

While Harlow did not appear on “SNL” this past weekend, he has been featured on the late‑night sketch show before. According to NBC, the rapper made his musical guest debut in March 2021 and returned in October 2022 to pull double duty as host and musical guest.

A new, forceful Pope Leo steps onto the world stage

Pope Leo XIV holds a holy Mass near Japoma Stadium in Douala

YAOUNDE, April 17 (Reuters) - Pope Leo has debuted a new, forceful speaking style on his four-nation Africa tour this week, issuing sharp denunciations of war and inequality that have sparked repeated attacks on the pontiff from U.S. President Donald Trump.

The change in rhetoric reflects Leo's growing ‌concern with the direction of global leadership, experts said, after he maintained a relatively low profile for a pope during the first 10 months of ‌his papacy.

Trump first attacked Leo as "terrible" on Sunday, in an apparent response to the pope's criticisms of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. He lobbed more criticism again on Thursday, suggesting the pope didn't understand foreign ​policy issues.

The first U.S. pope, speaking earlier that day in Cameroon, had said the world was "being ravaged by a handful of tyrants", without naming individuals.

"Normally popes and the Vatican are cautious when it comes to international politics, preferring diplomacy to public censure," said John Thavis, a retired Vatican correspondent who covered three papacies.

"(Leo) seems convinced that the world needs to hear explicit condemnation of injustice and aggression, and he seems aware that he is one of very few people who have a global pulpit."

POPE SEEN AS MORAL LEADER ON GLOBAL ‌STAGE

The pope, known for choosing his words carefully, mostly avoided ⁠comment about the U.S. until March, when he emerged as an outspoken critic of the Iran war.

He first mentioned Trump by name publicly only at the beginning of April, suggesting that the president find an "off-ramp" to end the war.

In Africa, the pope has been speaking ⁠much more firmly. In speeches this week in Algeria and Cameroon, he warned that the whims of the world's richest threaten peace and decried violations of international law by "neocolonial" global powers.

"Pope Leo is establishing himself as a moral leader for the global scale," Bishop John Stowe of Lexington, Kentucky, told Reuters.

Stowe, president of a U.S. Catholic peace organization, said Leo's recent messages carried ​more ​weight by being given during a visit to Africa, "delivered face-to-face with the people who have lived ​with war, violence, famine and chronic poverty".

POPE DOESN'T WANT TO BE 'SOFT ‌ON TRUMPISM'

Popes have long been a moral voice on the global stage, loudly decrying situations of injustice. But they have also generally striven for the Church to remain neutral in world conflicts, allowing the Vatican to act as a mediator if asked to do so.

It is a balance of roles that is difficult to maintain.

Massimo Faggioli, an expert on the papacy, pointed to the example of Pope Pius XII, who directed a clandestine network to shelter Jews during the Holocaust but is accused by some modern critics of not speaking loudly enough about the ongoing genocide.

"There's always the ghost of Pius XII hanging there," said Faggioli, a professor at Trinity College Dublin, referring to why Leo ‌may be deciding to speak more forcefully now.

"I don't think he wants the Vatican to be ​accused of being soft on Trumpism because he's an American."

LEO SPEAKING MORE DIRECTLY THAN PREDECESSOR FRANCIS

Leo, the ​former Cardinal Robert Prevost, spent decades as a missionary and bishop in ​Peru before becoming pope.

He lived there during an intense period of internal conflict between Peru's government and the Maoist guerrilla group Shining Path, ‌when tens of thousands were killed in bloody warfare.

"In rural Peru, ​Prevost... was immersed in what poverty, corruption, ​globalization of indifference, climate catastrophe, (and) governmental violence does to people," said Natalia Imperatori-Lee, an academic at Fordham University.

"He's uniquely qualified to speak about the dangers of... political corruption and violence," she said.

Pope Francis, Leo's predecessor, was from Argentina and was also known for forceful denunciations of conflict. He too clashed with Trump, who ​once called Francis "disgraceful".

With his comments this week, Thavis said, Leo ‌may have spoken more forcefully than Francis or any previous pope.

"Other popes, including John Paul II and Francis, have spoken about the dangers of ​ideological tyrannies and neocolonialism," said Thavis.

"But when Leo says the world is 'ravaged by a handful of tyrants,' that strikes me as a much more ​direct challenge to the leaders of powerful nations."

Meghan Markle & Prince Harry Make Big Australia Tour Change — Source

Prince HarryandMeghan Marklehave arrived in Australia for their four-day unofficial tour. However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are making a major change to their itinerary. According to reports, the couple has decided to cancel their traditional public walkabouts. This news comes as they navigate their trip to Melbourne, Sydney, and Canberra. The decision highlights the growing challenges the couple faces during their private international visits.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made changes due to security concerns, claims source

According to asourcefamiliar with the planning, the decision to scrap the walkabouts was made deliberately. The insider claims that escalating security risks and the fear of organized protests played a major role in the change. The source noted that every aspect of the visit is being viewed through the lens of safety and public order.

Planners reportedly concluded that the risks of managing large, unpredictable crowds outweighed the benefits of meeting the public. “The aim is to minimize potential flashpoints and avoid situations where tensions could escalate,” the insider explained. Sources say the couple is “painfully aware” of the mounting unease and public backlash surrounding the trip.

The tour has already faced scrutiny over its “faux royal” nature and funding. A petition with over 46,000 signatures has called for no taxpayer money to be used for the visit. While the Sussexes state the trip is privately funded, local police in Victoria and New South Wales are deploying extra resources. Member of Parliament David Limbrick has even called for the couple to reimburse the public for all policing costs.

Despite these changes, Harry and Markle are continuing with scheduled appearances. Harry is set to speak at a summit in Melbourne, while Markle will host a high-priced “girls’ weekend” event in Sydney. By removing informal walkabouts, the couple hopes to maintain a controlled environment and reduce their exposure to unpredictable crowd reactions.

Jack Schlossberg Calls ‘Love Story’ a “Capital ‘F’ for Fiction”

Jack Schlossberg, the only grandson of the late President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jackie Kennedy, renewed his criticism of the FX seriesLove Storyin a new interview released this week. Speaking on Katie Couric’s podcast,Next Question With Katie Couric, Schlossberg, 33, remarked how the limited series focused on glamour at the expense of his family and the legacy of his uncle,John F. Kennedy Jr.

Town & Country NY Congressional Candidate Jack Schlossberg Joins Nurses On Picket Line

“I struggle to find a universe where someone taking advantage of my family is helping me,” Schlossberg said when asked whether the show’s popularity could benefit his congressional campaign. He iscurrently campaigning for an open seat in U.S. Congress to represent New York’s 12th District. “My issue is to fictionalize and to sensationalize his romantic life without giving any credence to the serious things that he did.”

Love Storypremiered in February and over the course of nine episodes followed therelationship and untimely deathsofJFK Jr.andCarolyn Bessette-Kennedyin the 1990s, recreating many real-life events, such astheir 1996 wedding. But as the disclaimer in every episode’s opening credits reads, much of the dialogue and encounters were fictionalized and were just inspired by real people.

Schlossberg was careful to distinguish between the people who made the show and its audience. He added that no one in the Kennedy family was consulted during production and urged viewers to approach the series critically. “I would just want people who do watch the show to watch it with one letter in mind, and that’s a capital ‘F’ for fiction,” he said. Speaking about his uncle, Schlossberg said, “He was a smart, attractive person who cared about politics. It’s not surprising that people, once they remember who he was, want to dress like him and be like him.”

Schlossberg also objected to the show’s portrayal of his parents, Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, describing them as “the two nicest, most dignified, private people in the whole world who do nothing but help others.” He took particular issue with his father’s depiction. “They had my dad dressed up in some plaid outfit," he said. “My dad’s the most stylish guy I’ve ever met.”
