Pete Davidson channels his inner Aaron Rodgers on Saturday Night Live this week, and it was pretty amazing, with Davidson recreating Rodgers’ infamous Pat McAfee Show interview about his refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine, delivering a series of zingers that had us rolling on the floor laughing.
In the opening clip, Cecily Strong does her Judge Jeanine Pirro impersonation, inspired by the Fox News TV show. During the sketch, Pirro invited Rodgers, the “American brave enough to stand up and say, ‘Screw you, science, I know Joe Rogan'” to join her onstage and tell his side of things.
Davidson looked the part, donning the same T-shirt and blue beanie that Rodgers wore during his interview, complete with fake facial hair and a long wig to portray the football star.
Here are just some of the one-liners that he delivered:
“It’s my body and my COVID, and I can give it to whoever I want.”
“But suddenly the woke mob is coming after me — it’s gotten so bad that State Farm called and they’re not even offering me the Rodgers rate!”
“I never lied. I took all my teammates into a huddle — their faces three inches away from my wet mouth — and told them, ‘Trust me, I’m more or less immunized.’ Go team!”
“People can talk all they want, but at the end of the day, my record is still 7:1. Meaning that out of the eight people I’ve infected, seven are fine,” he concluded.
