Brad Pitt on Saturday Night Live 🎭🤵

We can’t talk about celebrity guest appearances without mentioning Brad Pitt’s hilarious stint on Saturday Night Live. The actor, who had never hosted the show before, used his platform to take jabs at Trump’s impeachment trial and the Oscars.

His Dead Pool parody, where he played Dr. Anthony Fauci, was an instant classic, and his monologue had us all in stitches. It’s safe to say we’d love to see him return to the show in the future.

Her appearance was a pleasant surprise, and it’s always great to see members of the royal family supporting important causes.

Justin Bieber had a busy year in terms of guest appearances, but his visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show stood out for a very heartwarming reason. The singer revealed to Ellen that he was diagnosed with Lyme disease, a condition that had taken a significant toll on his health.
