'SNL' pokes fun at RFK Jr. in ‘MAHAspital’ sketch straight out of ‘The Pitt’

“Saturday Night Live” went to the emergency room this week, dragging a satirized, shirtless Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with them.

Harry Styles's March 14 hosting duties saw the singer as a Best Buy staffer, a European cruise host and a White Castle drive-thru employee. But one of the night’s buzziest sketches was “MAHAspital,” a satire on Kennedy's “Make America Healthy Again” agenda in the style of hospital drama “The Pitt.” Styles played a Dr. Robby-esque character.

In the fake promo “for people who love ‘The Pitt’ but can’t stand its phony liberal science,” cast members eyed raw milk IV drips and shelved ivermectin, suggesting treatments of “methylene blue and a full-moon ceremony.” Rather than Tylenol or defibrillators, the emergency room staff pitched whey powder, red light therapy masks and “a cold plunge in blue jeans.” 

“If your favorite character from ‘The Pitt’ was the guy who punched the nurse in the face, you’ll love MAHAspital,” a narrator advertises. 

“MAHAspital” is a clear dig at the Health and Human Services secretary, whose recent federal actions and stances include revised childhood vaccine guidance, skepticism of psychiatric drugs and a flipped food pyramid.
