SNL At Home returns with Brad Pitt as Dr. Anthony Fauci

Watch highlights from the seventeenth episode of SNL’s forty-fifth season, sort of hosted by Brad Pitt, with Miley Cyrus as the musical guest.

Oh, and congratulations, Dr. Fauci… you got your wish!

In an interview with Fauci, [CNN] anchor Alisyn Camerota noted that “SNL” would be returning to NBC’s airwaves this weekend after a hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“What do you think the chances are that somebody will portray you?” Camerota asked.

“I have no idea. I hope not,” Fauci replied with a laugh.

Camerota quickly suggested a few performers’ names, including Ben Stiller and 56-year-old Pitt.

“Oh Brad Pitt,” Fauci, 79, said with a wide grin. “Of course.”

Of course!
