He has been disappointed every step of the way.

The showrunner has coveted this former A+ list mostly movie actor for literally three decades.

When he finally landed him, he thought it was going to be amazing, but he has been disappointed every step of the way.

Why Has Jim Carrey’s Joe Biden Been Such a Disaster?

Why isn’t this working? If I had to describe Jim Carrey’s Joe Biden impression in one word, I’d go with reptilian. He is wiry, and scaly, and slithery, and volatile, and overpowering, and weird. It’s not working. SNL, back in Studio 8H with live audiences thanks to intense COVID-19 protections, has aired three new episodes thus far, all with nearly 15-minute-long political cold opens covering the first presidential debate, the vice presidential debate, and the dueling presidential town halls, respectively. And even with Alec Baldwin’s deathless Donald Trump trying to suck up all the oxygen as usual, Carrey-as-Biden has bulldozed through it all, doing the most even though IRL Biden is lately the relatively serene candidate doing the least. – Source
