Guest star Matt Damon depicted an enraged and combative version of Kavanaugh, yelling, scowling and guzzling huge glasses of water while cast members on the Senate Judiciary Committee questioned him.

“Every night I was lifting weights with PJ and Squee and Handsy Hank and Gang Bang Greg. But you know the liberal media is going to find some way to spin,” Damon told his fellow cast member Cecily Strong playing Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).
Kavanaugh and his accuser Christine Blasey Ford appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week to be questioned and give their testimonies. Kavanaugh stands accused of sexual assaulting Ford during a high school house party in the 1980s.
