The penultimate episode of Saturday Night Live’s 51st season opens in a quiet bar in Washington DC. Secretary of war Pete Hegseth (Colin Jost) bursts in for his usual, a shot of beer dropped in a pint of whiskey (“a reverse Irish car bomb”). He’s happy to be some place he won’t run into anyone from work since, “none of Trump’s people like drinking as much as I do.”
Right on cue, he runs into Trump-appointed supreme court justice Brett Kavanaugh (Matt Damon), who orders his usual: three Buds and six Jamesons (“a six-three decision”). The two celebrate their mutual accomplishments – starting a war and ending abortion, respectively – before opening up about their fears.
