- Despite not appearing, Ball and Briones were invited to watch the sketch from Lorne Michaels' office and attended the after party, where they met guest host Harry Styles.
- The viral SNL parody, set in the "MAHA Hospital," reversed The Pitt's liberal themes by humorously promoting right-wing medical advice, featuring James Austin Johnson as RFK Jr. and Styles as the hospital's lead doctor.
- Ball praised the sketch as "amazing" and highlighted Styles' captivating performance, noting the audience's spellbound reaction during the live show.
