Jim Carrey's Biden Basks In 'Trump-lessness' On 'SNL' As He Hits Pause On Alec Baldwin

A wacky Jim Carrey played Joe Biden on Saturday Night Live as a barely-in-control candidate at the presidential debate so furious with Alec Baldwin s Donald Trump that hes close to exploding.

Look, man, Im a nice guy, but if you give me any more guff, Ill rip your face off like a mad chimp, says Carreys version of Biden in the first cold open of SNL s 46th season.

Referring to Trumps hair, Carrey taps into his inner Grinch and threatens: Ill rip that thing off your head and burn it and bury it in the pet cemetery where it came from.

But he quietly talks himself down: The countrys counting on you, Joe! Just stand here and look lucid.

Fox News debate moderator Chris Wallace , played by Beck Bennett , kicked off the debate vowing to do a good job. Then Baldwins Trump snaps him down: Tell that to my Adderall, Chris. Now lets get this show on the road and off the rails.

Trump complains that the China virus has been very mean to me in being a hoax, adding: That statement will probably come back to haunt me. He pushes law and order, but admits there are exceptions like his taxes. Maya Rudolph s Senator Kamala Harris eventually turns up to calm down the boys.

Thats when Carrey wraps up the debate using a remote control that freezes Baldwin mid-sentence.

Isnt that satisfying? Carrey asks. Just not to hear his voice for a single, goddamned second ... Lets bask in the Trump-lessness.

He woos: America ... look at me. Look directly into my eyeballs. You can trust me, because I believe in science, and karma. Now just imagine if science and karma could somehow team up to send us all a message about how dangerous this virus can be.

He peered at a still-frozen Baldwin. Im not saying I want it to happen. Just imagine it did. So this November, please get on the Biden train ... we can all make America not actively on fire again.
