The singer made for a solid host of a mostly amusing episode which poked fun at influencers and featured cameos by Debbie Harry and Connor Storrie<\/p>\n
Saturday Night Live returns for its final run of season 51 episodes with a press conference held by \u201cthe man, the myth, the liability\u201d Secretary of War Pete Hegseth (Colin Jost). He angrily \u201cdogwalks\u201d the dweeby members of the press pool over questions about his mistaking a Pulp Fiction quote for a real verse from the Bible, the actual cost of the war with Iran, and the number of American bases that have been hit (\u201cMore bases than you\u2019ve ever hit, virgin\u201d), before turning the podium over to the \u201calmost certainly fired\u201d director of the FBI, Kash Patel (Aziz Ansari).<\/p>\n
The bulging-eyed Patel gives a useless update on the recent assassination attempt on Trump (\u201cAnother one!\u201d) before bragging about how he\u2019s \u201ca trailblazer: the first Indian person to suck at their job.\u201d He denies allegations about his alleged alcoholism \u2013 though not before Hegseth jumps in, thinking the question is directed at him \u2013 to make it clear that he has not only never \u201cbeen drunk or hungover on the job\u201d, but also \u201cnever used tax-payer dollars to take a private jet to fly him and his girlfriend to three different Buffalo Wild Wings locations across the country to see if they could tell the difference\u201d.<\/p>\n
