tvMay 10, 202640582

Matt Damon hosted Saturday Night Live and opened the show by reprising Brett Kavanaugh in a cold open that also cast Aziz Ansari as Kash Patel. The sketch staged DC decadence with a puppet-dancing Damon gag, a joke about Patel’s personalized bourbon stash, and Chumbawamba’s Tubthumping playing over the finale. SNL used those vivid visuals and music to lampoon recent political figures, keeping its focus on Washington personalities and recent scandals in late-night satire.
