SNL cold open takes shots at Aaron Rodgers' COVID-19 vaccine interview

It was only a matter of 34 hours before the inevitable landed.

"Saturday Night Live" opened its show this week by roasting Aaron Rodgers and his appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Friday. Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week, when it was revealed he was unvaccinated after leading reporters and fans to believe the opposite. He went on McAfee's show to explain.

The SNL writers put Rodgers, played by Pete Davidson, at the front of the cold open as a guest with Fox News' Jeanine Pirro, played by Cecily Strong.
