The Oscar-winning actor Brad Pitt portrayed Dr. Anthony Fauci in a sobering address about coronavirus on Saturday Night Live, deciding to clarify “what the president was trying to say.”
The NBC late-night sketch comedy show cut in real-world footage of Trump’s speeches about coronavirus.
“ALMOST NO ONE CAN GET A TEST”
Pitt, as Dr. Fauci, had a couple of things to say about the state of tests. He said he didn’t know if he would describe the test as beautiful — unless your idea of ‘beautiful’ is having a cotton swab tickle your brain. Additionally, he wanted to point out that almost no one can get a test.

He also thanked the medical workers, first responders and their respective families.
