There was no uncertainty as to whether “Saturday Night Live” would offer his own satirical vision of the news that the defense secretary Pete Hegseth had disclosed plans of attack for an American strike on the combatants of the Houthi militia in Yemen during a textual cat who wrongly understood the editor of the Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg. It was just a question of how “SNL” would do it.
The opening sketch of this weekend presented the actors Ego Nwodim and Sarah Sherman, as well as the guest host, Mikey Madison, as adolescent girls whose group cat was interrupted by an unexpected message, read aloud by Andrew Dismukes: “Fyi: Green Light on Yémen Raid!” he exclaimed.
The tips, like Hegseth, continued to recite the texts he sent (“Tomahawks airborne 15 minutes ago”) with the emojis he used for punctuation (“flag emoji, fire emoji, eggplant”).
“Do we know you, my brother?” Asked Madison. “Here is Jennabelle.”
“Oh, nice,” replied Dismuks. “Jennabelle de la Défense, right?”
Warned by Nwodim that he was in the bad text of the group, Dismukes replied: “Lololol could you imagine if it really happened? Homer disappears in the Bush gif. ” He added that he “sent a PDF with updated locations of all our nuclear submarines”.
