Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and FBI Director Kash Patel were roasted on 'Saturday Night Live' this week, with the show taking aim at their alleged drinking habits in a blistering sketch.
'SNL' cast member Colin Jost portrayed Hegseth, striding to a press conference podium clutching an oversized glass of Scotch on the rocks. "I said I only had one," Jost's Hegseth quipped, before handing the glass to a pregnant Karoline Leavitt (played by Ashley Padilla), adding, "Here you go, for the baby."
The mockery continued as Jost lampooned Hegseth's fiery rhetoric about Iran, then passed the baton to Aziz Ansari, who played FBI Director Patel. With exaggerated bug eyes, Ansari declared, "I'm the first Indian person to suck at his job," before riffing on Patel's leadership of the bureau.
When a journalist asked about Patel's alleged drinking, Ansari delivered a punchline that brought the house down. The full clip, available online, captures the moment.
Representatives for Hegseth and Patel have not yet responded to requests for comment.
