"In an absolutely scathing cold open Saturday, Jost made a WWE-style entrance complete with entrance music slamming an energy drink to the floor after chugging it a la Stone Cold Steve Austin. Yeah! Hegseth said. All right shut the hell up! Shut it! Cut the music! Jost's Hegseth proceeded to rage at the press for grilling him about the strikes on a suspected narco-boat."
"First of all, that kind of cruel, heartless act has no place in Operation: Kill Everybody,' Hegseth said before the sketch made light of his past battles with alcohol. I was so jacked up after the first strike, I had to make an emergency call to my sponsor. Sorry, a guy I met at an anonymous meeting so I don't drink something that I like and I want,"
A sketch portrayed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as a frenzied, hyperbolic figure making a WWE-style entrance and angrily confronting reporters about strikes on a suspected narco-boat. The portrayal mocked allegations that a second strike targeted survivors and lampooned past alcohol struggles through frantic, self-contradictory remarks. A portrayal of Matt Gaetz questioned the scope of targeting, while a portrayal of President Donald Trump appeared asleep and fantasized about an incoming New York City mayor. The sketch combined political figures, dark humor, and pop-culture parody to satirize aggressive military rhetoric and political theatrics.
