now, a message from Dr. Anthony Fauci. #SNLAtHome pic.twitter.com/LYemNAWaAT
Saturday Night Live - SNL (@nbcsnl) April 26, 2020
Pitts Fauci pulled off a Donald Trump takedown, translating the presidents various statements about COVID-19 into the truth. Like when Trump says America will have a vaccine relatively soon, Pitt explains that if you were to tell a friend youd be over relatively soon, and turned up a year-and-a-half later, hed be relatively pissed off.
And when Trump says everyone can get a test for COVID-19, he means almost no one, Pitts Fauci explains.
When the president discusses a disinfectant injection, Pitts jaw drops. When Trump talks about hitting the body with a very powerful light, he does a facepalm.
Pitt wonders if theres any truth to the rumor Trump is going to fire Fauci. He plays a tape of Trump gushing: Im not firing him, I think hes a wonderful guy.

So yeah, Im getting fired, notes Pitt as Fauci. But until then, Im gonna be there, putting out the facts for whoevers listening. And when I hear things like the virus can be cured if everyone takes the Tide Pod Challenge, Ill be there to say please dont, Pitt added.
Then Pitt strips off his wig and offers a heartfelt tribute to Fauci: To the real Dr. Fauci, thank you for your calm and your clarity in this unnerving time. And thank you to the medical workers, first responders and their families for being on the front line. Now, live, kinda, from all across America, its Saturday Night.
