Damon's SNL Skit: Trump's Third Term Joke Stuns
10 May
Summary
- Damon portrayed Brett Kavanaugh in the SNL cold open.
- The skit humorously suggested Trump could serve a third term.
- This marked Damon's third time hosting Saturday Night Live.
Matt Damon made his third appearance as host on Saturday Night Live, opening the show with a memorable cold open. He took on the role of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, sharing a humorous exchange with Colin Jost's Pete Hegseth at a bar.
The skit playfully touched on contemporary political themes, with Damon's Kavanaugh quipping about ending abortion and the "war against male loneliness." The conversation took a surprising turn when they discussed a "top secret" plan to allow Donald Trump a third term, which they humorously justified by a supposed amendment to the Constitution.
Aziz Ansari also made a surprise cameo as Kash Patel, adding to the comedic chaos. Damon's hosting gig was his first time on SNL in over seven years, and it precedes the release of his upcoming film, 'The Odyssey', on July 17.
The current season of SNL is winding down, with Damon being the second-to-last host. Musical guest Noah Kahan performed, and Will Ferrell is set to host the finale.
