Will Brett Kavanaugh return to Saturday Night Live come December? Its possible: Matt Damon, whose impersonation of the now confirmed Supreme Court nominee went instantly viral back in September, will be back in December to host, in a roster that also includes Claire Foy and Jason Momoa.
Foy, who starred in The Crown as well as this years Unsane and The Girl in the Spiders Web, will be the sketch shows first host in December, with Jason Momoa set for the following week, and Damon after that. In order, the musical guests are Anderson .Paak, Mumford & Sons, and Mark Ronson and Miley Cyrus.
Foy and Momoa are both first-time hosts, but Damon hosted the show once before in 2002—alongside musical guest Bruce Springsteen. But most fans will more freshly recall his appearance as Kavanaugh from this fall. It was an appropriately unhinged impersonation that came together in a mad dash—like so many of the shows most memorable gambits often do.
Although Awkwafinas turn as host earlier this season was a major milestone—she was the first Asian woman to host the show in 18 years, after Lucy Liu in 2000—this years list of hosts has otherwise been light on female faces, making Foys announcement a welcome one (even if the actress is known more for her dramatic work than comedic parts). As for Momoa? The Game of Thrones alum might just be another man among many men, but hey—theres a decent chance we get another great meme out of his stint at Studio 8H. In other words: bring on the Aquaman jokes!
