Saturday Night Live tackled the recent faux pas by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who inadvertently shared U.S. military plans for a strike against militia fighters in Yemen during a text chat that included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg. The sketch cleverly reimagined the gaffe as a teenage girls' group chat, with cast members portraying characters confused by Hegseth's alarming messages. This humorous take highlighted the absurdity of the situation while engaging with contemporary political themes, illustrating how even serious matters can be turned into comedy.
This weekend's opening sketch featured the cast members Ego Nwodim and Sarah Sherman, as well as the guest host, Mikey Madison, as teenage girls whose group chat was interrupted by an unexpected message.
Do we know you, bro? Madison asked. This is Jennabelle. Oh, nice, Dismukes replied. Jennabelle from Defense, right?
