Last Thursday, the Brett Kavaugh judicial hearing dominated the news cycle, and so it came as no surprise that Saturday Night Live would mock the proceedings in their cold opening.
Surprising, however, was the appearance of Matt Damon as Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. “I’m gonna start at an 11. I’m going to take it to a 15 real quick!”
Damon mastered Kavanaugh’s blustering, water-chugging opening remarks, complete with tearful references to his high school calendar. “I’m a keg half-full kind of guy!” Damon as Kavanaugh shouted, calling out the entire investigation as a conspiracy of Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Kathy Griffin, and Ronan “Sinatra” (it’s been rumored that Frank Sinatra is Ronan Farrow’s biological father).
Also appearing in the sketch was SNL alum Rachel Dratch as Amy Klobuchar who asked Kavanaugh if he ever drank too many beers.
“I don’t know, did you?!” Kavanaugh responded, deflecting the question to her just as the real Kavanaugh did at the hearing. “I just blacked out for a second.”
Kate McKinnon played Leslie Graham, imitating the senator’s furious monologue, in which McKinnon’s character compared Kavanaugh unhelpfully to Bill Cosby.
“I was the proudest, drunkest virgin you’ve ever seen!” Kavanaugh shouted when talking about how long he waited to have sex.
He shotgunned a can of “water,” kicked off the 44th season of SNL with a bang.
The original late-night comedy sketch show from the one and only Lorne Micheals.
