1. Good one.. I forgot it was on tonight TY

2. Thanks!

Usually they upload the Cold Open while the show's still on, but they were late tonight.

3. That was actually good.

4. I thought so, too - though I expected Kavanaugh to order beer...

5. Well when he first walks in he ordered 6 bud lights and 3 shots of J - Mo ... (Jameson?)

This week's opening was very good!
Thanks!

eta: some of the jokes were particularly close to the bone and sure to be uncomfortable to these men... especially kavanaugh. I hope he sees it.

6. Well, that's what I remember from his initial testimony - "I like beer!"

And I agree, this week's Cold Open was a good one!

7. Oh yes!. . . I LIKE BEER!!

I guess he thought he should own it! But he wouldn't own anything else...

Admitting he liked beer was the least damaging, or should I say damning? admission...

BTW, I added an edit re:kavanaugh to my post above.

8. I would have thought twice about accepting him given the rest of his testimony and the charges against him

No matter how long ago it was, that speaks to his values and deserved to be reminded, kudos to SNL! And didn't all of the felon's nominees also testify that they supported Roe vs Wade??

And I certainly agree that the three men featured in the skit deserved exactly what they got - especially since all three are still in important positions, two of them currently on shaky ground.
