SNL/NBC/Twitter Rivers Coumo

Rivers Cuomo, lead singer and guitarist for the band Weezer, knows how to take a joke.

It's a good thing Cuomo has a sense of humor because the cast of Saturday Night Live, along with guest host Matt Damon, spent an entire sketch debating the merits of Weezer old versus new. Damon and Leslie Jones, playing neighbors enjoying a holiday meal together, nearly come to blows over when or if the band took a turn for the worse.

Weezer - SNL youtu.be

At least one person found the sketch hysterical. Front man Cuomo tweeted his enthusiastic love for the skit.

Twitter was feeling the truth behind the laughs.

@RiversCuomo My husband was so confused. I had to have Alexa play about 5 Weezer songs after this to help him. I knew every word.
