The show had Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance (Bowen Yang) and Secretary of State Marco Rubio entering a teen girl group text chat. They share state secrets, as the girls are bewildered by the flood of information being sent their way.

They wanted to talk about hot boys, not hot wars. “Saturday Night Live” took on the Signalgate drama, spoofing the scandal by casting Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance as accidentally stumbling into a text chain of high school girls — and sharing government secrets anyway.

In an unexpected move, host Mikey Madison joined the opening sketch along with Bowen Yang as JD Vance and Marcello Hernández as Marco Rubio.
