\n

This week, Saturday Night Live’s<\/i> cold open dragged President Donald Trump’s Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over the war in Iran and the news of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s firing.<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/div>\n

\n

On the March 17 episode hosted by Ryan Gosling, Colin Jost reprised his role as Hegseth, portraying him as an “unhinged fratboy.”<\/span><\/h2>\n

\n

Jost’s Hegseth literally started with a keg stand, which really set the tone for the rest of the cold open, which was completely off the rails.<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/div>\n

\n

SNL<\/i> mocked the way the Department of War and the Trump Administration have been addressing the Iran attacks on social media.<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/div>\n

\n

And Jost’s version of Hegseth reeeeeaaaaally took it there.<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/div>\n

\n

When a reporter referred to the attacks from the US and Israel on Iran as a war, he abruptly interrupted her.<\/span><\/h2>\n

\n

Then, Hegseth introduced Noem to the reporters, apparently for the last time, given the recent announcement of her replacement. Trump announced on Truth Social on March 5 that Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma will replace Noem on March 31.<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/div>\n

\n

Ashley Padilla reprised her role as Noem to clear up any confusion about her reassignment by President Trump.<\/span><\/h2>\n

\n

Padilla’s Noem shared why she was proud of her accomplishments in her time at the Department of Homeland Security.<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/div>\n

\n

And she explained that her departure might be “bittersweet,” but she’s excited for her new role as a special envoy of “The Shield of the Americas,” created by President Trump.<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/div>\n

\n

SNL’s<\/i> cold open was brutal, to say the least, from start to finish.<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/div>\n

\n

People can’t stop talking about Colin Jost’s “frat boy” portrayal of Pete Hegseth.<\/span><\/h2>\n
