Also on the opener to "Saturday Night Live's" 44th season: The show kicked off with a skit 'mocking' Brett Kavanaugh's hearings. A lengthy cold open reimagined the Kavanaugh hearings, with Matt Damon as the Supreme Court nominee and a guest appearance by Rachel Dratch.
Kavanaugh was also a hot topic on Weekend Update, with Kate McKinnon appearing as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and Michael Che suggesting that the Senate GOP "just pick another dude from your Illuminati lizard meetings."
Kanye West was the musical guest.
