Rivers Cuomo Is Freaking Out About That Weezer Skit On 'SNL'

Staff Writer

Guess he's a fan of it, then?

Rivers Cuomo is either a big Saturday Night Live fan, or a Matt Damon fan (or both?) - either way, he was a big fan of the show's sketch about his band Weezer this past weekend. 

The sketch saw Damon and SNL actress Leslie Jones get into a heated debate about whether Weezer are still any good. Though you'd think that concept might straight up piss Weezer off, Cuomo clearly took it for what it was and that is a pretty damn funny skit.

The group's frontman tweeted earlier today, "THEY HAD A WHOLE ASS SKIT ABOUT WEEZER AND ME ON SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE AND IM ACTUALLY CRYING AAAGGGGHHHHHHH".

So... guess he liked it, then?
