“Saturday Night Live” returned from its hiatus with a skit mocking the recent Signal group chat involving Trump administration officials and The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief. The chat revealed discussions about military moves against Houthi rebels in Yemen, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sharing information about planned airstrikes. In the skit, Hegseth is portrayed as texting teenagers, who are confused about his messages. Other Trump administration officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, also join the chat with inappropriate sharing of sensitive information. As the teenagers realize they shouldn’t be part of the conversation, they are threatened with deportation and the editor of The Atlantic reveals his presence in the chat. The skit ends with a humorous request for the secretary of defense to delete the editor’s number. The skit highlights the absurdity and reckless behavior of the Trump administration officials involved in the chat. “SNL” continues to satirize current political events with a mix of humor and criticism. The show aired on NBC, with Morgan Wallen as the musical performer for the night.
