Was John Krasinski in Capitol Riot?

The answer is no, not really. A few sketches down the line, Krasinski finds himself at a friend's home for a game night. He is surrounded with five other pals in a "quarantine pod."The friends are all sitting around the living room when the doorbell unexpectedly rings. Their friend Brad opens the door thinking it's the pizza delivery, but it turns out to be an FBI agent arresting Brad for participating in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6. Brad explained to his friends, "I care about our nation and its Constitution, so I wiped jelly on a statue and put (Nancy) Pelosi's phone down my pants." This cycle continued with the doorbell ringing, the friends assuming they're getting pizza when in actuality, it's more FBI agents arresting them one by one until it's Krasinski's turn.

He then proceeds to leave with the officer, carrying what appears to be the lectern of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. He is also mimicking Adam Christian Johnson, aka "Podium Guy" from the riot. At the end Krasinski says, "Good day, all”.
