Pretty great, right?\u201d McKinnon said. But \u201ca lot of people had questions, such as, \u2018what does that mean? What the hell are you talking about? Is this a trap?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The fake Fauci then said he\u2019d found a few doctors who minored in theater to act out various scenarios to help clear up the confusion.<\/p>\n<p>In the first scene, a couple pretended to be in a bar. Cast members Beck Bennett told Aidy Bryant that the fact that he is \u201centering a bar at 11 a.m.\u201d should be proof that he is not \u201cvaxxed.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"23\">\n<p><em>BRYANT: Welcome to a bar.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>BENNETT: Thank you. Do I still have to wear a mask indoors?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>BRYANT: You actually do not.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>BENNETT: Great.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>BRYANT: Well, as long as you\u2019re vaccinated.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>BENNETT: No, I\u2019m not.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>BRYANT: Oh, then that\u2019s bad.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>BENNETT: Well I\u2019m entering a bar at 11 a.m., did you really think I was vaxxed, because that\u2019s on you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>BRYANT: Right, I deserve COVID.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>BENNETT: And \u2026 scene.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>McKinnon said that message wasn\u2019t right, adding that \u201cwe have to trust each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the next scenario, Bowen Yang played an airline passenger who is told he will still have to wear a mask when not eating or drinking. He moved on quickly, saying he has been inside for a year. He then asked the flight attendant if she would like to \u201cbang,\u201d telling her to \u201cHop on, let\u2019s go for a real ride.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McKinnon took issue with that message too, saying, \u201cthe lesson should have been, you need masks on planes. Not, everybody horny now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After a few more scenes, the last one featured a group of people dancing together. As they celebrated, Bennett ended the fun by saying, \u201cNow, let\u2019s talk about Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat seems like a good place to end,\u201d McKinnon said. \u201cSo, in summary, please everyone get the vaccine and enjoy life with no masks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"No More Masks Cold Open - SNL\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Au2tgLjdGIs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
