SNL’s IGTV release of Brad Pitt addressing as Dr. Fauci

“Good evening. I’m Dr. Anthony Fauci. First, I’d like to thank all the older women in America who have sent me supportive, inspiring, and sometimes graphic emails,” is how Pitt started. 

Speaking of President Trump’s take on the sooner arrival of vaccines, he said, “Relatively soon is an interesting phase. Relative to the entire history of Earth? Sure. The vaccine’s gonna come real fast,” Pitt said.

“But if you were to tell a friend you’d be over relatively soon, and you showed up a year and a half later, well, your friend may be relatively pissed off.”
