Dr. Anthony Fauci got a kick out of Brad Pitt playing him on Saturday Night Live over the weekend, but he was even more impressed by the actor's personal message at the end of the cold open.
Earlier in the month, thedirector of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and White House coronavirus pandemic adviser joked that if he had to choose, he would want Pitt to play him on SNL.
Well, that's exactly what happened, with the Oscar-winning actor playing a version of Fauci who had to debunk a lot of bad information from President Donald Trump and tell people not to ingestdisinfectant.
At the end of the bit, Pitt broke character to thank all the first responders and health care workers for their tireless efforts.
