Noah Kahan and Matt Damon Clash Over the “Wrong Ben” in New ‘SNL’ Promo

Noah Kahan is bringing awkward comedy energy to the latest Saturday Night Live promo alongside host Matt Damon — but things quickly go sideways when a conversation about “Matt & Ben” introduces the wrong Ben entirely.

The new promo clip teases this weekend’s episode of SNL, with Kahan attempting to connect with Damon over the famous friendship and creative partnership between Damon and Ben Affleck. Instead, another “Ben” unexpectedly appears, turning the exchange into an intentionally uncomfortable comedy moment.

Noah Kahan Continues His Mainstream Breakthrough

Noah Kahan has continued expanding far beyond the folk and indie scenes following the success of Stick Season. His recent television appearances, sold-out tours, and strong vinyl demand have helped turn him into one of the biggest breakout artists in modern singer-songwriter music.

The SNL appearance adds another major moment to an already massive touring and media run. Kahan has also built a strong collector following, with vinyl editions of his albums becoming increasingly popular among fans looking for limited pressings and deluxe releases.

Matt Damon Returns to ‘Saturday Night Live’

For Damon, the appearance marks another return to Saturday Night Live, where he has delivered several memorable cameos and hosting performances over the years.

The promo leans heavily into Damon’s long-running association with Affleck, including references connected to their famous “Matt & Ben” dynamic that dates back to their early Hollywood success.

New ‘SNL’ Episode Airs This Weekend

This weekend’s episode pairs Damon as host with Kahan as musical guest as the current SNL season approaches its final stretch. NBC continues using celebrity-driven promos to build momentum around the final episodes, especially with artists and actors who already generate strong online engagement.

Fans can watch the new episode Saturday night on NBC and Peacock.
