Saturday Night Live's 44th season started off on a strong note.

This weekend's cold opener addressed Brett Kavanaugh's bizarre and continuous hearing with the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday. Matt Damon took on the role of the embattled Supreme Court hopeful, portraying him as a beer-obsessed, overly emotional bro.

"I'ma start at an 11, and I'ma take it to a 15 real quick," Damon's Kavanaugh told the senators. "I'm not backing down you sons of b*****s, I don't know the meaning of the world stop."

The skit went on to mock Kavanaugh's childhood calendars, which were intended to discredit the sexual misconduct allegations against him. 

"Dr. [Christine Blasey] Ford has no evidence, none. Meanwhile, I've got these. I've got these calendars," Damon said. "These beautiful, creepy calendars, about lifting weights with P.J., and squee, and Donkey Dong Doug. But you don't care about squee or Donkey Dong Doug, do you? You just want to humiliate me in front of my wife. My parents, and Alyssa freaking Milano."

You can check out a clip of the skit below. SNL cast members Cecily Strong, Alex Moffat, and Kate McKinnon portrayed Dianne Feinstein, Chuck Grassley, and Lindsey Graham, respectively; ex-cast member Rachel Dratch played Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
