NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” released a reimagined version of the medical drama “The Pitt” that poked fun at Robert F. Kennedy’s pseudo-science — all with the help of pop superstar Harry Styles.
Styles skewered Kennedy, President Donald Trump’s health and human services secretary, while making his second appearance of the season on SNL as the emcee and musical guest.
In the mock trailer, Styles appeared as a doctor who rejects standard medicine in favor of meat‑centric and supplement‑heavy remedies. Upon approaching a stroke patient, his doctor character insists that the woman requires protein rather than emergency intervention.
“What she needs is a steak,” Styles says, a knock on Kennedy’s obsession with meat.
“She needs protein, people. Give me beef tallow and six raw eggs, stat,” he orders.
In another scene, Styles reacts with disgust after learning that a car accident victim in immense pain is up-to-date on his vaccines.
“Loser!” he says, half-coughing. Styles agrees with another doctor’s treatment plan of “a triple-dose of Alpha Brain and a cold plunge in blue jeans.”
“The Pitt” has emerged as a hit show, earning Emmy recognition for its chaotic depiction of hospital life. The series is known for intense storylines, high‑stakes emergencies and standout characters such as the doctor who infamously punched a nurse.
In the Styles spoof, the mock-trailer boasts: “If you loved the character who punched the nurse in the face, you’ll love MAHAspital”.
By the end of the sketch, Kennedy appears — portrayed by SNL regular James Austin Johnson — wearing no shirt and blue jeans. He wheels a dead bear into the emergency room, saying it needs to “be prepared.”
“For surgery?” another doctor asks.
“For jerky!” Kennedy says, before calling a huddle on the hospital floor.
“I’m proud of each and every one of you,” he says. “You’ve been told over and over: ‘You’re crazy. What you’re doing is dangerous and irresponsible.’ But you did it anyway.”
“Maybe it’s the brainworm talking, but I love this team,” Kennedy adds. “Now drop and give me 50.”
