In the sketch comedy show's first episode back since the Signal scandal – which involved top Trump administration officials sharing attack plans in a Signal chat that included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg – the cast spared no time in poking fun at the incident.
"FYI - Green light on Yemen raid!" Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, played by "SNL" cast member Andrew Dismukes, sent to a Signal chat shared with several teenage girls. "Tomahawks airborne 15 minutes ago. Who's ready to glass some Houthi rebels? 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🍆"

Another teenage girl, played by host and "Anora" star Mikey Madison, responded to Hegseth, "Uhm, do we know you, bro? This is Jenabelle."
"Oh nice, Jenabelle from Defense, right?" Dismukes as Hegseth responded.
A third teenage girl in the chat, played by cast member Ego Nwodim, told the secretary he had the wrong group chat.
"Lolololol. Imagine if that actually happened?" Dismukes as Hegseth responded. "Hey, while I got everyone. Sending an updated PDF with all the locations for our nuclear submarines."
