В новой скетч-программе SNL Азиз Ансари высмеял работу директора ФБР Каша Пателя
Выпуск шоу Saturday Night Live открылся сценой, имитирующей брифинг в Белом доме. Азиз Ансари исполнил роль директора ФБР Каша Пателя, высмеивая реакцию администрации на покушение на президента Доналода Трампа во время ужина Ассоциации корреспондентов Белого дома. В ходе скетча персонаж Ансари иронично назвал себя «первым индийцем, который не справляется со своей работой», добавив, что представители его этнической группы могут быть столь же некомпетентны, как и белые американцы.Персонаж Пателя также высмеял сроки расследования ФБР, заявив, что агентство сможет точно определить местонахождение Усамы бен Ладена лишь через шесть недель. Кроме того, герой прокомментировал манифест подозреваемого в нападении на ужин, отметив, что упоминание его имени в таком документе — это своего рода признание успеха.В скетче также появился Колин Джост в роли министра обороны Пита Хегсета. Его персонаж затронул вопросы внешней политики и военных операций против Ирана, используя сатирические отсылки к TikTok и музыкальным пародиям для уклонения от вопросов о стоимости конфликта. Сцену открыла Эшли Падилья, исполнившая роль пресс-секретаря Каролин Левитт.Сюжетная линия включала повторяющуюся шутку о том, что Патель отрицает любые обвинения в должностных нарушениях, включая вопросы доступа к электронной почте. Сатирическая постановка была основана на реальном инциденте с нарушением безопасности на ужине Ассоциации корреспондентов Белого дома, когда подозреваемый Коул Томас Аллен предпринял попытку штурма мероприятия с оружием. Расследование этого происшествия продолжается.

"We can be just as incapable and incompetent as the Whites."The character also mocked the agency’s investigative timeline when pressed by reporters.TRUMP RUSHED AWAY FROM WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER AS SHOTS FIRED"For those of you saying I’m doing a bad job running the FBI, well, what if I told you this agency is only six weeks away from pinpointing the exact location of Osama bin Laden," Ansari said.At another point, the character referenced the alleged manifesto tied to the Correspondents’ dinner suspect while addressing questions about his standing with Trump."Even the Correspondents Dinner shooter said, ‘Kill everyone but Mr. Patel,’" Ansari said. "You get a shout-out like that in a psycho’s manifesto, you must be doing something right."The cold open also included a portrayal of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth by Colin Jost, shifting briefly to foreign policy and military operations involving Iran.IRAN EYES REVENGE FOR SOLEIMANI AS WHCA DINNER SHOOTING EXPOSES SECURITY ‘VULNERABILITY’, EXPERT WARNS"As you might have seen on our sick-a-- TikTok, we’ve been bombing stuff, doing sick air raids," Jost said as Hegseth. "This war has been a movie, specifically ‘The NeverEnding Story.’"When pressed on costs associated with the conflict, the sketch used musical parody to deflect."I guess I could put it in terms like a theater kid like you would understand, 525,000, 600 billion," Jost said. "In summary, war is awesome."The sketch opened with Ashley Padilla portraying White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who introduced Hegseth before the briefing escalated.MIKE DAVIS: KASH PATEL IS RESTORING THE FBI DESPITE CONSTANT ATTACKS"That’s when you tell President Trump about your maternity and he says leave," Padilla said as Leavitt.The sketch included Patel dismissing allegations about his conduct in office as he fielded questions from reporters. The sketch also featured a running gag about Patel denying allegations of misconduct, including questions about email access and personal behavior.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"I’ve always been able to log into my email, except for a brief 36-hour period of time when I forgot I had changed my password," Ansari said as Patel.The episode of Saturday Night Live followed a security breach at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, where prosecutors allege suspect Cole Tomas Allen attempted to storm the event with multiple weapons.
