Both actors received nominations for hosting entire episodes of Saturday Night Live.

Pitt’s surprise appearance on the show, which was not announced in advance of the episode, saw him don a wig to impersonate Fauci in a fake public service announcement. The sketch featured Fauci attempting to counter claims made by Donald Trump about the Covid-19 outbreak.

While the sketch itself ran for three minutes, Pitt’s screen time clocked in at two minutes and four seconds, with a third of the sketch comprised of footage of Trump answering questions during various press conferences.

Pitt previously received an Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series nomination in 2002, for his guest role on Friends. The memorable appearance saw him play a high school nemesis of Rachel Green, played by his then-wife Jennifer Aniston.

Today’s Emmy nominations also saw Aniston receive her first Best Actress in a Drama Series nomination, for her role in Apple TV+’s The Morning Show.
