The NBC variety show opened with Dr. Anthony Fauci of Kate McKinnon hosted a new game show called “So You Think You Can Get The Vaccine.”
“The introduction of the vaccine is going well, but it is also very confusing,” said McKinnon’s Fauci. “Who can get it? How? When? Where is it? Are both doses going in the same arm or different arms or what? I don’t know.”
In addition to host Fauci, “So You Think You Can Get The Vaccine” had three judges: California Governor Gavin Newsom, played by Alex Moffet; New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, played by Pete Davidson, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, played by Cecily Strong.
The first contestant was a Michigan woman played by Heidi Gardner.
“I think I deserve the vaccine because I’m an essential worker,” said Gardner.
‘That’s nice. What are you doing?’ Strong’s Whitmer asked.
“I do IT for the OnlyFans website, so I’m busy,” Gardner replied.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to give her the vaccine, so they moved on to the next game show contestant, which was sponsored by CFS.
“CVS: come for the picture, leave with a lollipop from two Halloweens ago,” said McKinnon’s Fauci.
Other participants included a young woman pretending to be an old woman, a man pretending to like smoking, and a pregnant woman.
‘Hello, I am pregnant. Can I get the vaccine? ‘ asked the pregnant woman, played by Melissa Villaseñor.
‘I do not know. You can?’ Davidsons asked Cuomo.
“Sorry, may I get the vaccine? ‘asked Villaseñor.
Davidson’s Cuomo explained that he was not trying to correct the woman’s grammar.
‘I really asked. We have no idea, ”he said.
The next contestant, surprisingly, was Senator Ted Cruz, played by Aidy Bryant, who did a stand-up comedy.
The last contestant was an old man played by Mikey Day. The judges ruled that the old man deserved the vaccine the most.
Unfortunately he had to make an appointment online.
“Is there a young person who can help you?” Strong’s Whitmer asked.
“Maybe, the postman?” he said.
But in the end it didn’t matter as McKinnon’s Fauci had some bad news for the game show.
“I have just been told that the power went out at a nearby CFS and that all vaccines will expire,” he said. “So it’s who comes first, first.”
Then the group said the show’s signature catchphrase, “Live … from New York! It’s Saturday night!”
