Cornell University alumnus Dr. Anthony Fauci got his wish.

Brad Pitt played Dr. Fauci in a “Saturday Night Live” skit during the show’s second at-home episode Saturday, poking fun at President Donald Trump and the White House response to the coronavirus pandemic. Pitt played clips of Trump, saying “miracles shouldn’t be Plan A" and throwing cold water on the president’s promise for a COVID-19 vaccine “relatively soon.”

“Relatively soon is an interesting phrase. Relative to the entire history of earth, sure, the vaccine is going to come real fast," Pitt said.

After a clip of Trump talking about using disinfectant “by injection” or using ultraviolet light to treat coronavirus, Pitt dropped his jaw and rubbed his forehead.

“I know I shouldn’t be touching my face,” an exasperated Pitt said.

Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a leading member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, graduated at the top of his class from Cornell University Medical College, also known as Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City, in 1966. He’s played a critical role in U.S. research and treatment for AIDS, HIV, SARS, H1N1, and Ebola, but has been thrust into the spotlight as a trusted voice on COVID-19 during Trump’s press briefings.

CNN recently asked Fauci who he would like to play him on “SNL.”

“Oh, Brad Pitt, of course,” Fauci said with a laugh.

At the end of the segment, Pitt removed his wig and dropped the accent.

“To the real Dr. Fauci, thank you for your calm and your clarity in this unnerving time," Pitt said. “And thank you to the medical workers, first responders, and their families for being on the front line.”

“And now live, kind of, from all across America, it’s Saturday night.”

Pitt also thanked healthcare workers and announced that the show was live from New York — “sort of.”

Other highlights from “Saturday Night Live” included Pete Davidson, Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider doing a music video about going stir-crazy while stuck at home; Aidy Bryant and Kate McKinnon in a grocery store ad; Kenan Thompson as former Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz doing a cooking show; a FaceTime skit with Paul Rudd; and Cecily Strong as Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
