One of Saturday Night Live‘s most seasoned cast members took on a new role in the show’s 51st season premiere, with Colin Jost debuting a new impression as self-styled “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth.
In the episode’s cold open, Jost impersonated the speech Hegseth gave on Tuesday at Quantico to a room of senior military officials who had been summoned from across the globe to listen to Hegseth rage about men in dresses, men with beards, and fat generals.
Introduced as a “former Fox News host.” Jost’s Hegseth strolls on stage all machismo and rage, shouting at the audience, “I summoned all of you here today to address a serious problem, okay? Our military is gay as hell!”
