\n\tNearly 30 years after his titular Good Will Hunting character memorably burned a snooty college dude by asking if he liked apples, Matt Damon<\/a> is on the receiving end of that same query in a bit promoting his Saturday Night Live hosting gig this weekend.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHey Matt, do you like apples?\u201d castmember Ben Marshall asks Damon.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCome on, man, don\u2019t do this,\u201d replies Damon, who\u2019s probably heard the question thousands of times from fans and passersby on the street.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat? I\u2019m just asking a question,\u201d retorts Marshall.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter a deep exhale, a visibly weary Damon answers, \u201cFine. Fine. Yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSuffice it to say, Marshall\u2019s next line takes Damon by surprise.<\/p>\n

\n\tWatch below.<\/p>\n

\n\tDamon returns to\u00a0SNL<\/a>\u00a0for his third time as host on May 9 with musical guest Noah Kahan for his second go-round. The Oscar winner next will be seen in Christopher Nolan\u2019s\u00a0The Odyssey,\u00a0which hits theaters July 17. Grammy nominee Kahan\u2019s fourth album,\u00a0The Great Divide, will be released April 24.<\/p>\n

\n\tAn apparently insane Will Ferrell, incidentally, returns for his sixth time as host on season 51 finale May 16, with Paul McCartney, returning for his fifth time as musical guest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nearly 30 years after his titular Good Will Hunting character memorably burned a snooty college dude by asking…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":437937,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,61,60,98032,15824,282],"class_list":["post-437936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-matt-damon","tag-snl","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=437936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/437937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=437936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=437936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=437936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
