9:01 PM PDT, October 2, 2021kicked off its 47th season over the weekend, and started things off with an expectedly political"Cold Open" sketch. In a surprise, the show put a lot of faith in a first-time castmember to play President Joe Biden.. As it turns out, the show has tapped James Austin Johnson, who made his SNL debut right in the hot seat.
The sketch itself also featured Cecily Strong making her return to the show playing Senator Kyrsten Sinema, -- whom Biden describes as looking like"all of the characters from"Scooby doo" at the same time?" Meanwhile, Melissa Villasenor reprised her fantastic Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez impression, and Aidy Bryant debuted her Joe Manchin impression.
The sketch really was close to an all-hands-on-deck situation, featuring Ego Nwodim, Alex Moffant and finally Pete Davidson -- who brought his increasingly unsettling Andrew Cuomo impression to the table.
I liked Jim Carrey better as Biden.
He is excellent.
So bad! Please change
