'Saturday Night Live' auditions Oscar hosts to replace Kevin Hart, featuring Matt Damon
Kevin Hart is no longer MCing the biggest awards show of the year. So who should the Academy tap to host the 2019 Academy Awards?
"Saturday Night Live" has a few suggestions.
In the sketch "Oscar host auditions," cast members impersonated a number of viable candidates for the job. Some highlights: Kate McKinnon's squeaky-voiced Michelle Wolf jokes she loves the documentary about Eric Trump's brain, "A Quiet Place." Aidy Bryant's on-point Hannah Gadsby asks as she does on her stand-up special, "Who's going to break the tension?" "SNL" host Matt Damon does a winning Matthew McConaughey impression, where the actor talks about meeting his future self.

The rest of the "Saturday Night Live" episode was filled with funny takes on Christmas themes, from President Donald Trump experiencing an "It's a Wonderful Life" moment, to having inane arguments about the holidays, to partying with fellow cops on Christmas, to celebrating the holiday with the least-liked people in the U.K., to relegating certain ornaments to the back of the tree and remembering this Christmas as the best one ever, despite how challenging the day truly is.
And then there was an unrelated but hilarious sketch that put dads in a Westminster Dog-style competition, with Damon's "Broadcast Dad" as the underdog winner.
