'I’m not turning my back on anyone. We’re just trying to put on the show that looks right, right now'

Photo: Alessio Botticelli/GC Images As first reported by Vulture earlier this month, Canuck legend Jim Carrey will be portraying presidential candidate Joe Biden in the upcoming season of SNL, a casting decision that was met with a 50/50 split on social media, given that there are 20 current cast members as it is.

In response to critics who said casting Carrey was unfair to SNL performers who previously played Biden, such as Jason Sudeikis, Michaels was unmoved. “I’m not turning my back on anyone. We’re just trying to put on the show that looks right, right now. People show up for each other in these moments,” he said.
