Saturday Night Live‘s cold open just featured Matt Damon reprising his role as Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at a bar with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and FBI Director Kash Patel as drinking buddies.
On the Saturday, May 9 episode of SNL, the trio found themselves at the Martin’s Tavern in Washington, D.C. Colin Jost, as Hegseth, was the first to enter the bar, where he fist-bumped the bartender (Kenan Thompson), made an exploding sound, and declared, “Drug boat!”
