“I ONLY HAD ONE.” Saturday Night Live goes ALL IN, brutally mocking Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel in a sketch that’s already blowing up online. It started like a normal press conference parody and then instantly spiraled. Colin Jost walked on stage as Hegseth, holding an oversized glass of Scotch like it was part of the joke, except it was the joke. “I said I only had one.” He smirked, and from that moment, the tone was set.
‘Saturday Night Live’ Brutally Mocks Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel
‘Saturday Night Live’Hegseth & Patel Ripped Apart For Their Alleged Boozing
‘SNL’ regular Colin Jost kicked things off playing Hegseth in the opening sketch, walking out to a podium for a press conference with an oversized glass of Scotch on the rocks gripped in his hand.
Jost mockingly tells reporters, “I said I only had one,” and then hands the glass to castmate Ashley Padilla, who played pregnant White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. As Jost passed the glass, he said, “Here you go, for the baby.”
With his eyes bulging, Ansari hilariously admits to being “the first Indian person to suck at his job,” and then goes on to poke fun at Patel’s time as the head of the federal agency before taking questions from the media.
We’ve reached out to reps for Hegseth and Patel … so far, no word back.
