Brad Pitt Portrays Dr. Anthony Fauci<br />on ‘Saturday Night Live’ On April 25, ‘Saturday Night Live’ aired their second<br />socially distanced episode of the COVID-19 pandemic. The episode’s cold open featured actor Brad Pitt<br />portraying Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National<br />Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease. The decision to have Pitt take on the role was a nod to Fauci’s previous comment that he would want Pitt to portray him on the late-night show. During the skit, Pitt took on<br />Dr. Fauci’s signature raspy<br />voice and hand gestures. As is expected from ‘SNL,’ he also mocked<br />current president Donald Trump and his<br />mishandling of COVID-19.
