Agree, we were wrong to know who would play Brett Kavanaugh in the inevitable outline of the hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday during the season premiere of "Saturday Night Live". Our money was on Beck Bennett, the favorite member of the series, called to play all the male characters of Washington.

The cold opening resumed after the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford and just before the entry of Kavanaugh, who the Senate Speaker, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), had called "shadowboxing in the hall men for 45 minutes ".

Matt Damon interprets the role of Kavanaugh, who promised, "I'm going to start at 11 am I'm going to do it at about 15 very quickly."

Having read prepared remarks, he claimed to have written "while screaming in an empty bag of Doritos," sneered Kavanaugh. Ronan Sinatra. Now I am generally optimistic – a guy like "the barrel is half full". But what I've seen monsters on this committee makes me want to throw up – not beer. "

"Dr. Ford has no evidence – none," he insisted. "And meanwhile, I have these calendars." "These beautiful scary calendars." I'm lifting weights with PJ and Squee, but you're not worried about it, are not you? just humiliate me in front of my wife, my parents and Alyssa Friggin Milano? "

"Well, guess what?" I'm not back, son of (swear words) I do not know the meaning of the word "stop." To quote my hero, the character of Clint Eastwood of "Gran Torino", "Get out of my lawn!"

Then come the questions from the senators on the panel.

California Democrat Diane Feinstein (Cecily Strong): "Judge Kavanaugh, are you saying that all the claims of Dr. Ford, Ms. Ramirez and Ms. Swetnick are false?"

Kavanaugh retaliated, "Uh, doy, you want an investigation, just look at my calendar, and every night I'm lifting weights with P.J and Squee and Handsy Hank." (He returned to this defense several times and each time, the nicknames of his friends became more and more impregnable.)

Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) had no questions but just a comment: "I would just like to say that Democrats behaved like cowards.Now, if you will excuse me, I'm going to hide behind the woman prosecutor we hired to act as a human shield. "

Rachel Dratch, a pupil of "SNL") played in Minnesota Democrat, whose exchange with Kavanaugh was one of the most tense.

"Do you mean that in high school, you often drink?" she asked.

Damon's Kavanaugh is defended by saying, "Listen, I like beer, agree." I like beer, boys like beer, girls like beer. I like beer, I like beer! "

Klobuchar continued: "Then I asked you if you had drunk in high school and you'd say" I love beer "10 times." That brings me to my next question: Have you ever drunk too much beer?

Kavanaugh: "You mean I was cool? Yeah!"

Klobuchar: "Then tell me, judge, have you ever drunk so much that you have lost consciousness?"

Kavanaugh: "I do not know.

When Klobuchar of Dratch answered with disbelief, he became sheepish, admitting, "Sorry, I think I fainted for a second."
