Mediaite: Matt Damon Kills It as Beer-Bro Brett Kavanaugh in SNL Cold Open (full 13 min. VIDEO)

https://www.mediaite.com/entertainment/matt-damon-kills-it-as-beer-bro-brett-kavanaugh-in-snl-cold-open/


The 44th season of Saturday Night Live started off with a bang with a star-studded cold open featuring Matt Damon as a beer-bro styled Brett Kavanaugh.

The topic of beer weighed heavily into the epic open as alternately angry and weepy Kavanaugh was questioned by a cast of Senators and Rachel Mitchell, as played by Aidy Bryant.

“I am a keg is half full kind of guy,” the SNL Kavanaugh said at one point before moving to a tearful account of his “beautiful” calendars.

And to think that I have been watching it from the beginning. The original cast members were my contemporaries. They were doing things not seen on TV before.

That look on Damon's face captures Kavanaugh completely. And the woman behind him looks great as the long-suffering wife.

Perfect opening, SNL!

That literally was a quick summary of what happened. The irony is having a famous professional actor portray a phony one.

(I wish they had done the Cory Booker part by having his portion of the dais suddenly start moving towards the witness table like the Spicey podium mobile ready to run over the reporters cause Cory shut him down effectively. )
