Background actors never get enough recognition for never breaking character

Matt Damon stole the sketch already with that first “WHAT?!?” Incredible

This is one of the single best sketches in SNL history. Good lord, Damon just kills it. As does Aidy.

The best work Matt Damon has ever done. He deserved an Emmy for this.

I’d like to point out that in the actual testimony Brett Kavanaugh said “I like beer” WAY more times than Matt Damon did in this sketch.

The person who audibly gasped at Matt Damon's entry was the real star of the skit.

They flew him in the Friday night before, and in less than 24 hours Damon produced one of the greatest cold opens in the history of SNL lol

How the cast made it through this sketch without breaking character is pure professionalism.
@zaraamir9165 5 years ago

That moment when you realize SNL is no longer writing scripts, they're just doing slightly dramatized reenactments of reality.

‘I wrote it myself last night, while screaming into an empty bag of Doritos’ Every college paper I’ve ever written

Matt Damon screaming "WHAT?" is what got me laughing.
@jenna9531 2 years ago

I still come back to this years later, it is so damn brilliant, and I cannot stop laughing at it. Simply genius!

that opening "WHAT?!" kills me every time lmao

"Did you ever drink to many beers?" "You mean was I cool? Yea!" LMMFAO

This isn’t even a parody. This is EXACTLY what happened.
@C64TV 2 years ago

Matt Damon absolutely crushes this. One of the best SNL cold openings of the past 20 years.

The woman playing Kavanaugh's wife is on another level.
@TylerJayRobinett345 3 years ago

“Did you ever drink too many beers?” “You mean ‘Was I cool?’ Yeah.”

The actors sitting beside deserve an award for the straight face. I couldn't have not laughed.

“Just wait until I get on that Supreme Court because you’re all gonna pay.” And pay we did
