Why Dana Carvey Didn’t Feel Like the Old Guy from the ‘80s Playing Joe Biden on ‘SNL’
The 50th season of Saturday Night Live kicked off this weekend, and predictably began with a cold open that featured Maya Rudolph plus a cavalcade of celebrities impersonating prominent political personalities. In addition to Rudolph’s Kamala Harris, we also got Andy Samberg as her husband Doug Emhoff and Jim Gaffigan as Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz, who, to be fair, does have Bhpe (Big Hot Pockets Energy).
The crowd went wild, presumably because the crowd wasn’t comprised of current cast members of SNL desperately vying for screen time.
To cap things off, veteran player Dana Carvey took the stage and showed off his Joe Biden impression. Carvey obviously has a long history of playing presidents on SNL, largely because Lorne Michaels didn’t stubbornly insist on hiring, say, Dan Aykroyd to play George H.W. Bush.
