The long-running, liberal Saturday Night Live comedy series has finally made fun of President Joe Biden in the latest cold open over the weekend.
In the SNL segment, the first (present-day) Biden is played by James Austin Johnson. He calls in the show’s version of White House press secretary Jen Psaki who informs him that nobody watched his CNN town hall on Thursday night and that his approval rating is plummeting. “People used to like me,” the Biden character tells the SNL audience. “They used to call me Uncle Joe.”
“I miss the old me. Where the hell did that guy go?” he asks, signaling the appearance of the “ghost of Biden past,” played by actor Jason Sudeikis, reprising his early 2010s-era Biden impression, wearing aviator glasses, a ballcap, and a blue zip-up with the vice-presidential logo on its breast.
