Dr. Anthony Fauci Cold Open - SNL

>> good evening. I'm dr. Anthony fauci. First, I'd like to thank all the older women in america who have sent me supportive, inspiring, and sometimes graphic emails now, there's been a lot of misinformation out there about the virus. And, yes, the president has taken some liberties with our guidelines so tonight I would like to explain what the president was trying to say. And, remember, let's all keep an open mind. >> we had a great meeting toy with a lot of the great companies. And they're going to have vaccines, I think, relatively soon >> relatively soon is an interesting phrase relative to the entire history of earth sure the vaccine's going to come real fast but if you were to tell a friend, "I'll be over relatively soon" and then showed up a year and a half later, well, your friend may be relatively pissed off. >> we have done an incredible job. We're going to continue. It's going to disappear. One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear >> a miracle would be great. Who doesn't love miracles? But miracles shouldn't be plan a. Even sully tried to land at the airport first. >> anybody that needs a test gets a test. They're there. They have the tests. And the tests are beautiful. >> okay. A couple of things I don't know if I would describe the test as beautiful unless your idea of beauty is having a cotton swab tickle your brain. Also, when he said everyone can get a test, what he meant was almost no one. >> you can call it a germ. You can call it a flu. You can call it a virus. You can call it many different names. I'm not sure anybody even knows what it is >> we know what it is. >> and then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute and, is there a way we can do something like that by injection? Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, uh -- whether it's ultraviolet or if, just, very powerful light >> I know I shouldn't be touching my face, but -- now there is a rumor that the president is going to fire me. Let's see what he said about that >> today I walk in, I hear I'm going to fire him. I'm not firing him I think he's a wonderful guy >> so, yeah, I'm getting fired but until then, I'm going to be there putting out the facts for whoever's listening. And when I hear things like "the virus can be cured if everyone takes the tide pod challenge," I'll be there to "say please don't. And to the real dr. Fauci, thank you for your calm and your clarity in this unnerving time and thank you to the medical workers, first responders, and their families for being on the front line and now live, kind of, from all across america, it's Saturday night. ♪
