Saturday Night Live returned this week with a pandemic-related cold open, this time attempting to explain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s latest announcement regarding masks.…

“To clear things up, I found a few doctors at the CDC who minored in theater to demonstrate correct mask behavior,” McKinnon’s Fauci said, introducing a series of examples such as being at a large gathering outdoors, shopping in a grocery store, or riding public transit in New York City.

For instance, Aidy Bryant and Beck Bennett acted out being inside a bar. When Bryant asked if Bennett was vaccinated, he said he wasn’t but that should be assumed since he was also walking into a bar at 11 a.m. “You’re right, I deserve COVID,” Bryant replied. “The real point is we have to trust each other,” McKinnon’s Fauci hastily said, noting that last scene was a bit of a bust in explaining proper mask wearing.

Alex Moffat and Cecily Strong appeared in another scene where the two were supposed to be at a large gathering. Strong told Moffat there was no need for concern in terms of wearing a mask because they were outdoors, “outside the Capitol building.” The two then rushed off, with Moffat donning a MAGA hat.The scenarios continued to escalate, such as Pete Davidson asking less about mask wearing and more about where he could masturbate on public transit.

McKinnon’s Fauci ended the sketch by reminding everyone to get vaccinated so they could enjoy not wearing a mask — except for those in the Studio 8H audience.

Truth is im a mask expert. We developed fit testing, we tested every mask on medical professionals. Covid was made small on purpose to fit thru even N 95. Wearing masks hurts your health. We know this as well. Wearing a mask 😷 is political only sorry its truth
