Saturday Night Live has a new Joe Biden. Jim Carey now embodies the Democratic presidential candidate.
In the end, his attitude was convincing: In the legendary comedy show "Saturday Night Live", Jim Carrey (58) takes on the role of Democratic presidential candidate and ex-Vice President Joe Biden (77), replacing Woody Harrelson (59). Alec Baldwin, 62, who was hailed for his impersonation of US President Donald Trump, will stay on the show.
Season 46 is slated to premiere on October 3rd – one month before the US elections on November 3rd. So Baldwin and Carrey enter the duel as presidential candidates. The role of Kamala Harris (55), Bidens Vice President, will be taken over by Maya Rudolph (48). Vice President Mike Pence (61) plays Beck Bennett (35).
The US broadcaster NBC, which produces the show, announced that it would be returning to Studio 8H in Rockefeller Center for the new season after three shows were produced at home in the spring due to the corona measures. A limited audience should also be allowed. Four more live shows will follow on the weekends before the US presidential elections.
