SNL Skewers RFK Jr. With 'MAHAspital,' a 'Pitt' Parody Led by Harry Styles

Viewers quickly compared the segment to The Daily Show’s November parody using the same medical‑drama frame.

Overview

  • The March 14 episode featured host and musical guest Harry Styles as a Dr. Robby‑like lead in a pre‑taped promo that reimagined HBO Max’s The Pitt as MAHAspital.
  • The satire targeted Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again agenda, with James Austin Johnson portraying a shirtless Kennedy.
  • Characters swapped standard care for pseudoscientific fixes such as steak, beef tallow, raw eggs, raw milk IVs, bull semen, red‑light masks and cold plunges.
  • The sketch nodded to Kennedy’s false Tylenol‑in‑pregnancy claim and included dark gags about COVID vaccines and a vegan patient’s care.
  • It ended with Kennedy wheeling in a dead bear “for jerky,” and its close resemblance to earlier Daily Show and Jimmy Kimmel parodies prompted online comparisons, including a public call‑out from Daily Show’s Michael Kosta.
