Matt Damon hosted 'Saturday Night Live' for the second time in around 16 years on Sunday and the actor decided to pay tribute to his late father just one year after he passed away. Damon also recounted and fondly recalled memories of his father.
He spoke to the crowd at the start of the show and shared that his father used to tell him and his brother, Kyle Damon, as children that they could watch SNL if they were able to make to the late start time of the show. Damon shared, "So, week after week, I tried to stay up, and it wasn’t until I was 8 years old that I made it all the way to the end. I probably didn’t get all the jokes, but I laughed at everything that my dad laughed at."
