00:08If you caught Matt Damon on SNL this weekend, there's a good chance you also did a spit
00:13take. The three-time host got rave reviews for his tour de force performance, one ex-user dubbed him
00:19one of our finest living actors, and his comedy chops incredible. Damn Damon! So let's break down
00:25the best moments from the May 9th episode, starting with the Oscar winner's return as Brett Kavanaugh.
00:31He previously spoofed Trump's SCOTUS pick back in September 2018, just before Kavanaugh was appointed
00:37to the Supreme Court, and again that same year for the Christmas episode. Now nearly a decade later,
00:43the beer-loving Justice is back at a bar with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, played by Colin
00:49Jost and a surprise drinking buddy. I just wish there were more people in this administration
00:55who could really hang. Does this bar take care?
01:01Aziz Ansari made his return as FBI Director Cash Patel. One YouTuber quipped,
01:06this is hilarious until you realize it's a documentary. Aziz Ansari sighed it was totally
01:11Matt Damon's show. He played a not-so-tough tough guy and a substitute teacher who does a dorky dance
01:18for his class that stretches on for what feels like an eternity. Matt Damon, king of cringe comedy,
01:24and the internet couldn't get enough of these two married auctioneers.
01:40If you weren't a fan of Matt Damon's before this, well partner, you are now sold!
01:46Fans praised the skill of everyone involved. Writing cue cards for this must have been hell,
01:51wrote one person. Others couldn't help but notice that since SNL UK debuted,
01:56the American writers seemed to be upping their game. The auctioneers certainly had a similar vibe
02:01to this SNL UK sketch from last week between Super Mario and Princess Peach, played by White Lotus
02:08star Amy Lou Wood. Yep, they definitely get a gold star for that one, and so does Matt Damon for
02:28bringing his Hollywood wattage to Studio 8H.
