Dana Carvey attends the premiere of Universal Pictures 'The Secret Life of Pets 2' at Regency Village Theatre on Jin. That’s a cast of 20 people, and almost all of them will be shut out of the major roles in the sketches that are guaranteed to be opening every episode this season. Bay Area-raised funnyman Dana Carvey nails Joe Biden impression.
It’s actually getting even bigger this season nobody from last year is leaving, and today Michaels announced three new cast members, Andrew Dismukes, Lauren Holt and Punkie Johnson. Saturday Night Live has an absurdly large cast. I have no idea if anybody on the show today could be half as good at Biden as Dana Carvey was as Bush or Phil Hartman was as Clinton, but it could make for a more interesting show if they had the chance. Back then SNL’s cast actually got to star on SNL, and not just pop up in the background or squeeze in between whatever famous people drop by that week. Remember how Dan Aykroyd kept coming back in 1988 to play George Bush during the election? Or when Tom Hanks would pop up as Bill Clinton in 1992? Right, you don’t, because that never happened. He was honored at a ceremony in Washington, DC where many of his close friends paid him tribute by poking fun at him. or somebody at Babette’s in East Hampton this weekend, and offers him the role instead. Adam Sandler is the 2023 recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. That is, unless Michaels runs into Robert Downey Jr.
Beck Bennett will presumably be the only actual cast member of the show to play one of the four major candidates on the presidential ballot this fall, continuing on as Trump’s running mate Mike Pence. Today Lorne Michaels revealed in an interview with Vulture that Jim Carrey will be playing Joe Biden in the show’s upcoming 46th season, opposite Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump and Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris. Don’t expect the era of celebrity cameos to end anytime soon at Saturday Night Live.
