The United States may still be on high alert for Ebola - but that didn't stop Saturday Night Live turning its comedic talents to mocking efforts to control the spread of the disease. The show made light of the fiasco over whether to quarantine Kaci Hickox - which ended up in an imagined fistfight between her and Chris Christie, the New Jersey Governor who implemented the harsh new rules. The opening skit on the NBC show began with 'Governor Christie', played by Bobby Moynihan, trying to explain his compulsory quarantine rules, which were briefly applied to any health workers returning from West Africa.
