Twenty-four hours after the FDA approved the nation's first COVID-19 vaccine, "Saturday Night Live" addressed everyone's questions about the vaccine's rollout without hesitation.
"Saturday Night Live" began its episode with Kate McKinnon as Dr. Anthony Fauci and Heidi Gardner as Dr. Deborah Birx. Both doctors discussed the coronavirus vaccine.
Beck Bennett's Wolf Blitzer, described as "an indoor man with no outdoor name," interviewed the two medical professionals. The first question asked Fauci what Americans can expect from the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which is already available in the United Kingdom.
"We're doing this vaccine World War II style. We made England go in first," McKinnon's Fauci said. "Tom Hanks will make 10 movies about it and when it's all over you'll be able to kiss any nurse you want."
Bennett's character Blitzer then asked who will get the first vaccine in the United States.
"Well, here's how we're going to do it. First, health care workers, your McSteamys and McDreamys, what have you," McKinnon's Fauci said.
Brix explained how the vaccine would go to "anybody named Mildred."
While McKinnon's character was speaking, he hilariously got hit in the face with a bra.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Fauci. Did somebody just throw a bra at your face?" Bennett's Blitzer asked. Fauci then explained that this happens a lot to him when he meets people.
For McKinnon's Fauci, the doctor had one hope for the future of the United States.
"If enough Americans get this vaccine, you'll all forget who I am," Fauci said. "That's my goal: To have zero name recognition with Americans. That would mean I did my job well."
When the skit ended, both McKinnon and Gardner shouted the show's opening catchphrase, "Live... From New York! It's Saturday night!"
