Saturday Night Live’s Colin Jost reprised his role as Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. His portrayal mocked the secretary for seeming out of his depth with the U.S. military’s invasion of Iran.
President Trump ordered an unauthorized strike on Iran in cooperation with Israel forces on early Saturday morning. A senior Israeli official soon confirmed that one of the strikes had killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Halfway through SNL‘s latest cold open, James Austin Johnson’s Trump introduced Hegseth as “the man I’m going to blame [the invasion of Iran] on when it doesn’t work.”
