Heidi Gardner, Aidy Bryant and Cecily Strong joined her.After some initial talking (and arguing) about myriad topics, a man in a white coat played by host Owen Wilson shows up to let Gardner's character know her COVID test results and wants to confirm some information.The sketch made fun of "The View" hosts Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin, who were told they tested positive for COVID-19 while on the air and were removed from the stage. The tests were both false positives.'SNL' debuts new Joe Biden:Cecily Strong's Kyrsten Sinema not here 'to make friends'But back to the scene at hand: Did they have to do this on air, Gardner inquires?"It has to be on TV for HIPAA reasons.
