Regarding political satire, “Saturday Night Live” has had no end of equipment possible in recent times, and for his first spring match, the recent signal group cat involving officials of the Trump administration and the editor of the Atlantic were almost inevitable.
The program returned from a two -week interruption and plunged into the debacle in which the main leaders of the Trump administration used the signal application to discuss The soldiers move against the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
National Security Advisor Mike Waltz said he had created the Signal text cat and wrongly invited Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic, which revealed its existence and published a transcription of the exchange. He shows that the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, shared the scheduled air strike calendar, but not specific targets, for the March 15 attack.
In the “SNL” event version, the discussion group included three teenage girls, played by Ego Nwodim, Sarah Sherman and the Mikey Madison host. They were disconcerted by strange texts from Hegseth, played by Andrew Dismukes.
“Tomahawks looks 15 minutes ago,” he said, reading his texts by typing. “Who is ready to go through houthi rebels?” He concluded by reading aloud the inclusion of emojis of several flags, an emoji of fire and an eggplant.
Madison’s teenage character replied: “Do we know, my brother? It’s Jenebel.”
“Oh, kind,” replied Hegseth. “Jenebel de la Défense, right?”
Nwodim sounded: “I think you have the bad group cat.”
Hegseth seemed a little nervous.
“Lololol,” he said. “Can you imagine if it really happened? Homer disappears in a Bush GIF.”
The cat continued, somewhat unconscious of the presence of foreigners. Hegseth decided that it was time to share certain information.
“Although I have everyone,” he said, “sending a PDF with updated locations for all our nuclear submarines.”
Vice-president JD Vance, played by Bowen Yang, jumped into the group cat of his trip to Greenland: “sending a PDF of all CIA agents with deep coverage,” he said. “Don’t share!”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, played by Marcello Hernández, took his turn.
“Send you the real JFK files,” he said. “Not these false we have published.”
At that time, adolescents realized that they may not have to be in the group.
“We are in high school,” said Nwodim.
When Rubio realized that the three are really high school students, he said they should send their personal names and addresses to “deportations to Ice Dot Gov”.
“It could be worse,” said Vance de Yang. “We could have added the editor of the Atlantic again.”
“You did it,” said distribution member Mikey Day, playing in Goldberg while he was hitting a phone screen.
He then asked the defense secretary to “lose my number”.
“SNL” will broadcast on NBC, a division of NBCUNIVERSAL, which is also the parent company of NBC News. Morgan Wallen was the night musical interpreter.
