Matt Damon as Judge Brett Kavanaugh during "Kavanaugh Hearing Cold Open" on SNL on Sept. 29, 2018.NBC/Getty Images  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Oct 2, 2018 2:45 PM UTC Although it may have seemed like the [feud between Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon](http://time.com/4473441/jimmy-kimmel-matt-damon-feud-history-timeline/) had cooled in recent months, during Monday’s episode of [_Jimmy Kimmel Live!_](http://time.com/5409751/jimmy-kimmel-kavanaugh-hearing/), Kimmel made it clear that the bad blood is still pumping. While reflecting on [Brett Kavanaugh’s testimony](http://time.com/5409751/jimmy-kimmel-kavanaugh-hearing/) before the [Senate Judiciary Committee](http://time.com/5409667/senate-judiciary-committee-vote-brett-kavanaugh/), the late-night host addressed [Damon’s portrayal of the Supreme Court nominee](http://time.com/5411043/matt-damon-mocks-brett-kavanaugh-snl/) on the season premiere of _Saturday Night Live_. The emotional hearing saw Christine Blasey Ford detail her allegations that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in high school before Kavanaugh vehemently denied her claims. Damon played Kavanaugh as belligerent, unhinged and rage-filled. “Kavanaugh’s testimony rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. In fact, he was so unlikeable that _Saturday Night Live_ had no choice but to cast the most repugnant actor in the world to play him over the weekend,” Kimmel said. “What a surprise that Matt Damon would have no other plans on a Saturday.” Watch the full clip below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5412475/jimmy-kimmel-matt-damon-snl-kavanaugh/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5412475/jimmy-kimmel-matt-damon-snl-kavanaugh/"},"headline":"Jimmy Kimmel Roasts Matt Damon Over Saturday Night Live Kavanaugh Sketch Because the Bad Blood Pumps Another Day","datePublished":"2018-10-02T14:45:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:55:12.345Z","description":"The feud rages on","url":"https://time.com/5412475/jimmy-kimmel-matt-damon-snl-kavanaugh/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Jimmy Kimmel","TV","jimmy kimmel live","Late Night Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltff6d4a4f94244927/69893b9586f68ed2246ea516/matt-damon-brett-kavanaugh-snl.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltff6d4a4f94244927/69893b9586f68ed2246ea516/matt-damon-brett-kavanaugh-snl.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Saturday Night Live - Season 44","caption":"Saturday Night Live - Season 44","creditText":"NBC/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5412475/jimmy-kimmel-matt-damon-snl-kavanaugh/","name":"Jimmy Kimmel Roasts Matt Damon Over Saturday Night Live Kavanaugh Sketch Because the Bad Blood Pumps Another Day"}}]}] ```
