Saturday Night time Reside Season 51 began with a bang.
The primary chilly open of the season featured Colin Jost as the previous Fox Information anchor and present U.S. Secretary of Protection Pete Hegseth, who’s now referred to as the Secretary of Battle. The skit was a tackle Hegseth’s resolution to assemble navy officers in Virginia for a fairly uncommon assembly final week.
“Earlier this week, Secretary of Battle Pete Hegseth had the good thought to assemble all of our nation’s high generals in a single place at one time. And to throw our enemies off the scent, he advised them precisely the place and when it could occur,” an announcement mentioned on the high of the chilly open. “We take you to this assembly now.”
Enter: Jost as Hegseth, strolling in with an absurd bravado and rock music blaring on stage. “Reduce the monitor,” he mentioned earlier than happening to name the navy “homosexual” and “fats” and inspiring all members to start emulating President Donald Trump: “6’6″, buck 75, A-cups, perky, with a dump truck within the again you would not even imagine.”
Trump, performed by James Austin Johnson, interrupted Hegseth’s speech to ensure SNL does not “do something too imply about me,” referencing his position in Jimmy Kimmel Reside‘s current suspension.
“Keep in mind: Daddy’s watching,” Johnson’s Trump mentioned. “And stay from New York, it is Saturday evening!”
