SNL’s second installment of its “At Home” format brought in Brad Pitt as an unofficial host. The series, which now features its cast performing skits and segments via video while in self-isolation, has started a trend of keeping its host and musical acts a secret until airtime.
So while he not announced at the host of the episode, Pitt opened the show as Dr. Anthony Fauci and then later introduced a musical performance by Miley Cyrus (who performed an acoustic cover of Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here”). And introducing the musical guest is falls under duties of an SNL host, right? RIGHT?
Anyhow, here’s Pitt doing his skit as Dr. Fauci and then thanking our brave first responders and health care workers.
And now, a message from Dr. Anthony Fauci. #SNLAtHome pic.twitter.com/LYemNAWaAT
