“Saturday Night Live” began its 44th season premiere with a cold open tackling last week’s Ford-Kavanaugh hearing -- but focused solely on the Kavanaugh portion, with a guest appearance by Matt Damon as the Supreme Court nominee. The sketch portrayed the judge as a combative, “keg is half-full kind of guy,” and used the nominee’s preference for beer as a running gag throughout. First of all I showed this speech to almost no one — not my family, not my friends. Cast member Aidy Bryant appeared as “female prosecutor” Rachel Mitchell, who various members of the panel called “the female assistant,” “stewardess” and “Ms. Frizzle.” Bryant reminded them they could just call her “Prosecutor” Mitchell, and drop the “female” from her title.
