Master baker tier. Every paragraph earns its place on the tray.
Summary
SNL cast member Colin Jost (who plays Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on the show) revealed that he pitched a Cold Open sketch where Hegseth would recite the Ezekiel 25:17 Bible verse from Pulp Fiction, but the idea was rejected as "too ridiculous." Months later, the real Pete Hegseth actually delivered the same Bible verse during a public appearance, creating a bizarre case of life imitating art that never aired.
