Saturday Night Lives cold open for the December sixth episode, hosted by Melissa McCarthy, sparked conversation with a political parody featuring Colin Jost as a fictional Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. The sketch, filled with humor and satire, included outlandish statements and a humorous reference to former President Trump, who initially supported Hegseth but later threatened to throw him under a bus. The episode, as usual, used humor to reflect on current events and political figures, generating discussion among viewers.
