Original: pete hegseth

Saturday Night Live targeted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in its cold open, with Colin Jost ridiculing the Pentagon chief as a 'weirdo' in a mock campaign spot that also slammed the Trump administration over a reported $5,000 payment. The sketch comes as the Pentagon announced plans to cut 20% of general and admiral positions by January 1, keeping Hegseth in the news.
