Actor, artist and author Jim Carrey is returning to 'Saturday Night Live' to play former Vice President Joe Biden when Season 46 begins next month.

Maya Rudolph, cast as Sen. Kamala Harris on “Saturday Night Live,” has been among the show’s most exuberant, can-do players — qualities that resonate with Harris’ own.

The show will also work closely with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s team to ensure health and safety for the cast, crew and small audience during the COVID-19 pandemic.Michaels is also slightly changing up the airing format to cover the presidential election. The new season kicks off with five consecutive weekly shows on Oct. 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31.

“I made the decision early on, or at least about a month ago, that we would do something we hadn’t done before, which was five shows in a row,” Michaels said. “Because there are four debates and then it’s Halloween, and that’s the weekend before the election. And sadly, if the election gets extended, then we’ll be doing six or seven shows in a row.”

Also announced Wednesday, “SNL” has added three new cast members: Upright Citizens Brigade alum Lauren Holt, “Space Force” actress Punkie Johnson and “SNL” staff writer and comedian Andrew Dismukes. The show has also added Anna Drezen as a head writer.Get our revamped Envelope newsletter, sent twice a week, for exclusive awards season coverage, behind-the-scenes insights and columnist Glenn Whipp’s commentary.

what if he not win. What will Jim Carey do 🤔 ?

Dems begged for vaccine and then when it looked like it might help Trump for reelection, they work to stall it. They stall out small business to make Trump look bad, but then start it back up when it starts hurting their voters. Lame!!

Nooo! This could be bad for Biden.

They won't need him for long

시간이 끝나고 예수님 오심을 우리는 온전히 준비해야 합니다 우리에게 필요한 건 주님께 달려가는 것입니다 주님은 우리의 유일한 구세주이십니다 주님은 합당하십니다 예수님 오직 한분, 오직 예수님께서만 우리를 구원하실 수 있으십니다

I think “ace actor” is a stretch.

🤮

You watch; no way Snowflake Jimmy does anything to make Joe look bad.

Jim Carrey is washed up just like SNL

Hopefully, he won’t be necessary and Alec Baldwin will fill the role of the president. But, if a bumbling fool is required Jim Carrey is a natural.

Listen in

Love it!

Meh, I am probably in the minority here but I wish SNL would lighten up on politics and parodies of politicians, especially before the election.

He will be forgotten after the election and end up in a convalescent nursing home

Only Carrey has the teeth to properly convey Joe Biden.

Maybe we wait to lampoon Biden 'til after the election? You know, to preserve Democracy/ Save the planet, that whole thing?

It's not acting when you are just crazy playing crazy.

ET got DNC 🤟

I really hope he actually pokes some good fun at him at least. I don't watch SNL to worship liberal politicians.

They will try to portray a fictional version of Biden in a better form. The same idiot who think Sarah palin said she can see Russia from her house, was actually said by her character in SNL.

Make sure he stays on his meds or you may have a real problem on your hands. Just sayin.

You've got some big shoes to fill JimCarrey

Excellent news!

I think it would have been funnier and true to life to find a nursing home patient with dementia.

As long as he doesn’t kill anymore girlfriends.... right?
