I just sometimes forget Maya Rudolph isn't really Kamala Harris.

[esheahen]

They handled Jim Carrey not being there in the best way possible.

[neerajamb]

And somehow this Mike Pence is too human. And too authentic.

[OnlyScience]

Beck is totally committed to every character. This guy gets the details most wouldn't think to get. His first few steps into the scene was automatically legendary. LOL

[rayceeya]

The straight up Willy Wonka entrance? That takes balls. And he nailed it.

[babytuckoo]

I respectfully disagree with most people and personally love that they’re giving Alex Moffat the chance to play Biden. Why outsource these really important roles when you have an incredibly talented and eager cast at your disposal? Every president in the past (except for trump for political reasons) has been played by a cast member - I see no reason to do away with this.

[batgurrl]

Maya Rudolph kills it as Kamala every time. Kate McKinnon is without a doubt the MVP - she plays the men just as well as the women

[alexandramartinez]

That human shield jokes hits a little closer to home after the events of January 6th

[cvrator]

He does a great Mike Pence. He should probably get that checked out.

[CatalinaCat]

I like Alex Moffatt as Biden! It's best if they find people within the cast to play these figures. It gives them the chance to flex their skills. It's like how Sudeikis played Romney, or Jay played Obama. I'm here for it

[emmalee]

Beck as Pence excited about BTS is manifesting some confusing feelings

[mikeramp]

alex moffat isn’t my favorite snl joe biden, but he is definitely the most accurate with his voice and mannerisms.

[MoMotorMan]

I like SNL making Alex Moffat take the Biden impression. Carrey was good for the 6 weeks and the "luh-hoozer" bit. But politics are probably not going to be the #1 things on our minds once Biden becomes President, and Trump made such a big deal of his impression that SNL kept Baldwin just to make Trump mad. SNL has some real talent in the cast, glad to see they're utilizing it more.

[tiffanycarter]

The Mike Pence impersonator gives him way too much personality.

[a_syouwere]

"Listen, I have good news, Mike."
"OH MY GOD BTS IS TOURING AGAIN."

Now I want to see that Spotify playlist.

[jessicaatkins]

I almost died when "fake" Joe rose his arms and said Kwanzaa, because I can totally see him doing this in real life 🤣🤣🤣

[sheilapate]

Omg she kills me doing Rudy it’s the fingers for me

[tyrant-den]

Pretty genius move by Eric Trump to disguise himself and Joe Biden.

[bellasweitzer]

"And my wife Karen" You are telling me I went 4 years without knowing Pence's wife was named

[libbyfemenella]

Mike Pence’s real name is *Mechanical Pencil*
