Matt Damon appears as Brett Kavanaugh in SNL premier
The 44th season premiere of the political satire show was held with Matt Damon playing an angry Kavanaugh yelling at the Senate committee firing questions.Damon’s Kavanaugh shows Matt Damon drinking water in a vicious way and shouting loudly. Yelling aggressively Damon is seen saying, “Now I am usually an optimist, a keg is half full kind of guy, but what I’ve seen from the monsters on this committee makes me want to puke—and not from beer!”

Not only this, it also has Kate McKinnon as Lindsey Graham.

Neitzens watching the SNL sketch were astonished and said that Damon played it well. But some even had an impression that Damon in the character was a bit problematic. While many were happy some were unhappy watching SNL turning it into a funny skit.
Matt Damon just crushed it on SNL. That was hilarious.

The audience going wild over Matt Damon – who supported Casey Affleck and said problematic things about sexual assault – playing accused sexual assaulter Brett Kavanaugh is making me uncomfortable. #SNL

Do you think Brett Kavanaugh is at home, crying, writing in his 2018 calendar about how mean yet honest #SNLPremiere is?
