Yeah, he’s been satirized.
Aaron Rodgers’ anti-vaccine rant on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Friday naturally made its way onto the cold open of this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live” in just a short 34 hours.
The skit opened with Cecily Strong playing Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro, who welcomed on Rodgers, portrayed by Pete Davidson, to discuss his anti-vaccine stance and referring to him as a brave American who knows Joe Rogan.
Davidson mocked Rodgers’ use of “woke mob” and targeted his endorsement deal with State Farm, which has remained silent on Rodgers.
When the subject of whether or not Rodgers lied about his vaccine status, Davidson said, “I never lied. I took all my teammates into a huddle, got all their faces three inches away from my wet mouth, and told them, ‘Trust me. I’m more or less immunized. Go team!’”
The Rodgers’ portion of the skit lasted about 60 seconds, but it was a rather lengthy interview he did with McAgee and former Packer A.J. Hawk and SNL had to turn it around in just one day.
Nonetheless, Rodgers will likely continue to face more scrutiny and criticism as he continues to push back against the vaccine and miss Sunday’s Packers game against the Chiefs.
