- SNL also satirized Pete Hegseth’s plan to live-stream the execution of the Fort Hood mass shooter, joking about the rarity of public executions in the U.S. and ICE agents’ use of painful “shock” gloves.
- Additionally, the show featured a parody of Kevin O’Leary defending a controversial data center project in Utah, emphasizing environmental concerns and job impacts while focusing on profit motives.
