Episode 118 — Matt Damon (Season 51) — The Ten to One Podcast

Matt Damon is back in Studio 8H for the third time, and he brought Brett Kavanaugh with him. Brad, Nate, and Ben break down the May 9, 2026, episode of Saturday Night Live, the 1,007th episode in the show's history and the penultimate episode of Season 51, hosted by the Oscar-winning star of the upcoming Christopher Nolan epic The Odyssey, with musical guest (and fellow New Englander) Noah Kahan returning for his second appearance.

The guys go sketch by sketch through a surprisingly strong penultimate episode, including a cold open that reunited Damon's beloved Brett Kavanaugh with Colin Jost's Pete Hegseth and a surprise second week of Aziz Ansari as Kash Patel, a pre-taped cat litter ad that spiraled into domestic chaos, a Mom Movie Trailer tailor-made for Ashley Padilla, a block party full of guys who are decidedly not tough, and a season-closing Auctioneers sketch that might be the most linguistically impressive thing SNL has pulled off in years. Plus, a 17-minute Weekend Update featuring Jeremy Culhane's Tucker Carlson at the Met Gala, two kamikaze military dolphins, and a Jane Wickline song that is somehow both deeply relatable and a complete rebuke of basic social responsibility.

Topics include:

The Kavanaugh impression: still got it?
Is Auctioneers the sketch of the season?
Ashley Padilla continues her case for cast MVP
The Bradometer results
And the penultimate Player of the Night
