'Saturday Night Live': Matt Damon takes a shot at Brett Kavanaugh in cold open

UPDATED OCT 1, 2018

The SNL kicked off its 44th season with a cold open featuring Matt Damon playing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh who appeared before before a Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday to respond to allegation of sexual misconduct.

Damon confesses at the beginning that he was forty five minutes late because he was shadowboxing in the parking lot before making his appearance.
