The New York Times • • entertainment
Key Points:
- "Saturday Night Live" cast Aziz Ansari to impersonate FBI director Kash Patel, addressing the challenge of no cast members of Indian descent for the role.
- The episode, hosted by Olivia Rodrigo, opened with a parody of a White House news conference featuring Ashley Padilla as press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
- The sketch humorously included interruptions from construction noise and a mention of the press secretary's upcoming maternity leave.
