'SNL' cold open skewers 'incompetent' Kash Patel, Aziz Ansari stars

Surprise! Aziz Ansari is live from New York as FBI Director Kash Patel.

"Saturday Night Live" returned after a brief hiatus on May 2 and, in its cold open, featured the "Parks and Recreation" alum debuting an impression of Patel. The sketch took place at a press conference, where Colin Jost's Pete Hegseth introduced Patel as someone who wanted to "say hello before he's almost certainly fired."

After taking the podium, Ansari's Patel addressed the security incident at last week's White House Correspondents' Association dinner, where a suspect, Cole Tomas Allen, attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump. Prosecutors say that Allen tried to storm the dinner − where Vice President JD Vance and others from the administration were also in attendance − with multiple guns and knives, intending to kill high-ranking officials.

"Now, after the attempted assassination of President Trump − another one! − we conducted an investigation that could not have been more thorough," Ansari as Patel said. "We dotted every 'T' and bulged every eye. And for those of you saying I'm doing a bad job running the FBI, well, what if I told you this agency is only six weeks away from pinpointing the exact location of Osama Bin Laden?"
