If you somehow missed last week’s televised disaster featuring Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, not to worry, because Saturday Night Live has got you covered. SNL kicked off its 44th season with a guest appearance by Matt Damon starring as the beleaguered judge in its cold open, and he did not disappoint.
One-liners like this are what make the sketch so believable: “Look, I like beer, okay? I like beer. Boys like beer, girls like beer, I like beer. I LIKE BEER!”
