'I don't know what I'm doing': SNL pounces on 'scared' Pete Hegseth after Iran assault

Saturday Night Live was quick to put together a cold open late Saturday with “Weekend Update” co-anchor Colin Jost reprising his angry Pete Hegseth impersonation, where he first admitted he was pumped about “Operation Epic Fury,” including having it tattooed on his knuckles — and then admitting he was over his head.With James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump first announcing, “It’s me, Donald Trump, FIFA Peace Prize winner and Nobel Peace Prize taker, remember that?” he then continued, ”I launched this attack after me and my board of peace ... we were bored of peace. A little wordplay there, did you catch it?”“As we all know, Iran has been two weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon for like the last 15 years or something. So we had to act now, and we’re doing war,” he added.After more Trump rambling he introduced Jost’s Hegseth as "the man I’m going to blame [the bombing attack] on when it doesn’t work.”“What’s up, dillweeds?” Jost shouted. “They asked for someone to volunteer to receive his half-baked operation, and I didn’t walk — I ran. President Trump called me at two in the morning, and you know, I was awake and sober AF.”After more hyped up shouting he admitted, “I am scared, and I don’t know what I’m doing. When [Trump] said we were going to blow up the leader of Iran, I thought he was kidding.”“Bottom line, all of you should be thanking us. We took out a horrendous, horrible leader who was oppressing his own people—” he continued whch led Johnson’s Trump to interject, “But don’t get any ideas.” - YouTube youtu.be
