2. Thank you for posting this!

I wonder if Dr. Fauci ever envisioned Brad Pitt playing him? 😀

[Rhiannon12866]

8. I actually didn't know who it was until he removed the wig

I just knew that it wasn't a regular cast member. I just hope that the good doctor was watching.

3. That was excellent.

Someone asked him who he'd like to see play him in "the movie" and somehow it turns out it was Brat Pitt. So this was such a cool thing to do.

4. That is great

I didn't know this, so thank you! 👍

[2naSalit]

5. I can't say for sure that it it really happened, I think someone

on a late night show might have asked him and they may have goaded him a bit but I kind of recall that. I think it has some truth to it now that I see Brad Pitt playing Dr. Fauci...



I'm not taking responsibility for anything.

[SheltieLover]

7. LOL

OK. I don't rake respomsibility for anything either.

10. It was Alysin Camerata from CNN

on the New Day show last week. It was one of her last questions to him that day. Who would you like to play you in a movie?
She gave two choices and one was Brad Pitt. And he laughed and said Brad Pitt without missing a beat.

[SheltieLover]

15. Awesome!

What a wonderful way to honor Dr. Fauci by granting him that wish!

[CTyankee]

18. Do you thin Fauci knew Brad Pitt was a regular on SNL and would "do" him?

Not saying Fauci was full of himself. He probably thought it would advance his thinking further, altho it really is preaching to the choir at this point...

[2naSalit]

17. THAT was it!

I thought I saw it someplace but can't be too sure after a couple days, so much takes place in one day!

20. Brad Pitt or Ben Stiller? Good choice!

Earlier in April, CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota asked Fauci which star he would rather portray him if he were impersonated on "Saturday Night Live" — Brad Pitt or Ben Stiller.

"Brad Pitt, of course," Fauci said, laughing.

[2naSalit]

21. Excellent choice.

And I'm really glad they put this together. Dr. Fauci is now the rock star of the pandemic, of all things to be the celebrity for, and he does deserve all the positive recognition he receives.

6. Thank you, Rhiannon, for posting

I am imagining Dr. Fauci watching this.

I hope he was watching and laughing, rather than having nightmares about the idiot.

[Rhiannon12866]

9. I hope he was, too - he sure could use more humor in his life

And I hope he was flattered, he's one of the heroes to come out of this huge mess.

[SheltieLover]

14. Indeed

I cannot even imagine what that brilliant man goes through. I can't even stand to look at dump or hear his voice. He surely is a hero.

[Rhiannon12866]

19. I have to agree

He has to be extraordinary dedicated to put up with the likes of Trump.

[mr_lebowski]

11. That's awesome of Pitt to do this, given that a week or so back he said he wanted Brad to play him

in the eventual Coronavirus movie.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. I think so, too, very cool!

And I actually think that this was more of an honor for Pitt!

[JudyM]

23. +1

Thanks for the post, Rhiannon.

[CTyankee]

16. And you just KNOW that it burns Trump's ass to have Fauci even further glamorized.

Hooray!

[erronis]

22. Yes! The more that dump can be burned, the better!

I look forward (and fear) the final conflagration.

[CTyankee]

27. I know. I try not to think about it. I just want it all to go away and to have normalcy again.

But I don't think that is going to happen.

[Mike Nelson]

13. Well...

... done! That was nice of Mr. Pitt to do that, after Dr. Fauci's comment.

[underpants]

24. Funny and touching.

[ancianita]

25. Delightful! Thank you!

[Duppers]

26. 💕 Mr Pitt

He's not just a pretty face.


Watch a few mins...

[cp]

28. That was FABULOUS!

Not just cause I still have a big crush on Brad Pitt. This got more good information out there in three minutes than Dumpy has in years of our lives we'll never get back.
Also, did I say this was DELIGHTFUL?
Thanks for posting, Rhiannon!

[Rhiannon12866]

29. I know! Such a nice surprise! Another classic Cold Open!

Even in their remote broadcasts, they're doing relevant/great work! And funny, too!
