Thursday’s presidential town halls took the spotlight during “Saturday Night Live’s” third episode of its 46th Season. Alec Baldwin was back in his guest role as President D…

The late-night sketch comedy show was expected to recreate this political event, especially given that Trump’s real-life town hall aired on “SNL’s” own network, NBC. After it was announced that NBC would air that event, a number of top performers and producers — including talent that currently work on NBC shows —asking the network brass to rethink that decision. The “SNL” team did not sign that letter, clearly working on a different kind of reaction, which played out on Oct.

The highlight of Biden’s town hall was his response to how he would handle COVID. “Here’s the deal, unlike the president I actually have a plan.” When asked what it was, he replied, “A plan? It’s a detailed proposal for doing or achieving something.” When it came to his plan, he said, “Let me start with a story, mixed with a complicated math problem: If you have three million doses of vaccine and the vaccine leaves Chicago at 10 a.m.

She started by asking why he won’t condemn white supremacy, to which Baldwin’s Trump responded, “I do. I do condemn it. I’ve always more or less condemned it.” Addressing QAnon specifically he said, “You mean the group that thinks that democrats are a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles, that I’m their messiah? I don’t know anything about them at all. All I know is they’re against pedophilia and I agree with that.

“I never died or saw hell or the devil — he never showed me a list of my sins. I was just alive and strong the whole time,” Baldwin’s Trump said.

Terrible Biden impression

Jim Carrey is terrible. Good at movies, but terrible as Biden. SNL needs to admit they’ve messed up and re-cast. nbcsnl

Are people really mad about a satire portrayal of Biden and calling for Jim Carrey to leave the show for it lol.

Not funny.

I haven’t found Jim Carey’s Biden very funny

Wow...the democrats didnt like jim carry impersonation of Biden. Kudos to Jim Carrey

SNL sucked last night! Biden jokes were not funny. This is not the time to discourage voting for Biden! We need SNL to get young people to the polls!!! VoteBidenHarris VoteBidenHarris2020 BoycottNBC TrumpIsALaughingStock TrumpLied200KDied DumpTrump JimCarrey

My DirecTV guide said SNL last night was a 1998 show with Keith Richards and Tom Hanks. WTF. :-(

Is Jim Carrey a bernie bro?

Agree. He plays him as old and crazy, except for the Mr. Rogers.

Not a fan of Jim Carey’s version of Joe Biden impersonation on Saturday night live.

Discusting

Bad. I hate the joe biden portrayal. It supports the false talking points of trump and Russia that joe has dementia. Its insulting. Joe has been spot on

BpopeTV Recreates is a very wrong word for this.

Bring all your children over to sit on the lap of CreepyJoe

It was dreadful.

nbcsnl Replace Carey as Biden before Joe wins. It's like nails on a Chalk board.

They really should have jasonsudeikis reprise his role. He’s much better than Jim Carrey for this one. SNL nbcsnl

And Jim Carey was great, said no one.

Jim Carrey is annoying af. Please keep him off of SNL as Joe Biden. Joe deserves better.

I have been waiting for this all week. Lovvveeeee it

Skits like this is the reason I stopped watching SNL years ago.

Saturday Night Social: Notes on DebbieI recently rewatched Addams Family Values, a decision that I never regret. From screenwriter Paul Rudnick’s impossibly joke-packed dialogue to Raul Julia and Angelica Huston’s incomparable on-screen chemistry as Gomez and Morticia, the 1993 live-action adaptation of Charles Addams’ macabre comic satire is, in a word, perfect. In two words: It fucks—something Christina Ricci’s Wednesday tells us in the film’s opening minutes. But on top of it being the rare children’s movie that fucks, bypassing the neutered double entendres found in contemporary Pixar fare, Addams Family Values also features a biting critique of American settler colonialism and the white supremacist mythmaking that continues to excuse it. I don’t know any other movie that does what it does.\n I love this It's DEBORAH!
