Matt Damon’s ‘nasty’ SNL sketch with cast member Mikey Day leaves viewers in complete disgust
Matt Damon took on hosting duties in the latest episode of SNL, but one ‘nasty’ sketch left viewers in complete disgust.
The 55-year-old actor – who recently appeared in the first trailer for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming epic The Odyssey – joined some cast members including Mikey Day in a Godzilla movie skit.
Damon portrayed an admiral on a battleship who received news of a ‘sizeable anomaly’ in the ocean.
Day then said, ‘Admiral, you might want to take a look at this,’ as he pointed to his computer.
The Good Will Hunting star bent down to get a closer look while holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
Day explained that the anomaly is 2,500 feet, which caused Damon to spit out the coffee he had in his mouth onto Day.

‘What!’ Damon exclaimed in shock as Day began wiping away some of the coffee on his face.
‘There’s something the size of two Empire State Buildings swimming in our ocean?’ the actor continued.
Cast member Sarah Sherman then told the admiral that the creature was making ‘impact tremors on the ocean floor.’
Damon took another sip of coffee as he took in the news and kept his gaze on Sherman as she added, ‘It’s not swimming, sir. It’s walking.’
He kept looking at her before swiftly turning around to spit out more coffee onto Day.
‘It’s walking? What the hell is this thing!’ the Hollywood star questioned in dismay as Day quietly wiped coffee from his eyes.
Damon then said that he was becoming stressed and asked for the ‘thick green juice that I like.’
A large glass of green juice was handed to him as Day sent a concerned glance over his shoulder.

‘Uh… do you want to finish the sip that’s in your mouth?’ he asked Damon, who mumbled something in response.
‘You like to savor the taste?’ Day clarified before starting to tell him about the thermal imaging.
But before he got the full sentence out, Damon spit out the green juice onto Day.
‘Is there pineapple in this?’ the actor demanded as someone informed him that there was not.
Damon told his crew to ‘lock in’ since they will be there for a while and said, ‘I should eat something. Can I get some of that runny, lumpy yogurt that I like?’
Day then showed the actor a video of the creature as it ‘crushed’ a nuclear submarine which Damon claimed ‘cannot be possible.’
The star turned to Day and said, ‘I need you to look me in the eyes right now, and tell me that video is authentic.’
Damon was then handed a bowl of yogurt. Day did not answer right away since the actor was putting spoonfuls of yogurt into his mouth.

‘You’re putting so much in your mouth, sir,’ Day said as he briefly broke character. ‘The video’s authentic.’
Damon spit out the yogurt onto Day and expressed, ‘Well, I lost my appetite.’
The star asked for a glass of water as another person pointed out an incident in Japan, but could not translate the transmission.
Day pointed out that he speaks Japanese, which caused Damon to spit out the water on him.
Everyone gathered around Day as he began to translate as Damon handed out water bottles to make sure the crew was hydrated.
As he read the transmission, the crew all spit out water on him. And after he read that they were calling the creature Godzilla, Damon rushed over to also spit out water on Day.

‘Everyone please stop!’ Day said in defeat. ‘I’m so wet! I’m so wet. I know a lot of high stakes information is being revealed, but please if you can, just try to spit away from me. Please.’
Another crew member suddenly appeared and spit water on him.
‘Sorry, I didn’t get to do it yet,’ she said. The sketch concluded as Godzilla reached their battleship.
Social media users soon jumped over to X to share their thoughts on the skit, with one penning, ‘Looks disgusting and not funny.’
Another wrote, ‘Notice that the black cast members didn’t participate in the spitting on Mikey Day sketch. That was just nasty. #snl’.
‘Gross. No way I’d let ANYONE do that to me. Nope,’ a fan typed, and another said, ‘Can we agree that spitting is NEVER funny?!’

‘Poor Mikey! taking everyone’s spit,’ another commented.
Along with the latest episode, Damon has taken on SNL hosting two previous times back in 2002 and 2018.
Noah Kahan, who is known for tracks such as Hurt Somebody and Stick Season, was musical guest.
