Appearing Friday on CNN’s New Day, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, quipped that Hollywood actor Brad Pitt should play him on Saturday Night Live.
A transcript is as follows:
ALISYN CAMEROTA: [On] a much lighter note, Saturday Night Live is back this weekend, after a month of being off, what do you think the chances are that somebody will portray you?
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: I have no idea, I hope not.
CAMEROTA: If they did, which actor would you want to play you? Here are some suggestions I’ve heard: Ben Stiller, Brad Pitt. Which one?
DR. FAUCI: Oh, Brad Pitt, of course.
