Goold Ole Days
prevnextI love love love Jim Carrey. But I do miss the days when cast members were allowed to shine as recurring characters. The show made them stars, it didn't bring in stars to help out. https://t.co/ukBB5MuZu3

How Does the Cast Feel?
prevnextIf I were a cast member on SNL and I saw the show constantly bringing in outsiders for the biggest parts, I’d be … vexed. https://t.co/YiTt466iqe

Hard to Choose
prevnextJim Carrey is my comedic idol. I love the man so much, and I think he's going to excel in the role, but what about bringing back Jason Sudeikis? https://t.co/0b6Zcti0ec

Confidence Issue?
prevnextIt’s baffling to me that Lorne Michaels has so little confidence in the current #SNL cast that he’s not only bringing Alec Baldwin and Maya Rudolph back to play Trump and Kamala Harris, but he’s also adding Jim Carrey as Joe Biden. https://t.co/cACWB7Fgm4

Interesting Take
prevnextI don't have strong feelings about Jim Carrey as Biden. Maybe he'll be good! But continually hiring outside stars for big roles just underlines how SNL is more concerned with the *impression* of the person (voice, likeness) than the *idea* of the person (writing, character)

Open-Minded
prevnextI can’t really picture Jim Carrey as Joe Biden, especially since Jason Sudeikis is perfect in the role, but he’s one of the best impersonators ever, so color me interested. https://t.co/mzauv3P7lU

You Have to Laugh
prevnextThis is huge for kids who grew up watching Jim Carrey, moved to big cities to pursue comedy, and worked their asses off to pay for seemingly endless classes at Second City or iO or UCB to fulfill their dream of one day continuing to watch Jim Carrey. https://t.co/PinWv3fyKp

The Big Question
prevnextJim Carrey as Biden on SNL should be entertaining. Will he stick around if Biden actually wins the election? pic.twitter.com/qLIX0dDNui

Let's Wait and See!
prevNot going to weigh in on Jim Carrey being cast to play Joe Biden on SNL right now. Going to wait to see how this develops then let the comedy speak for itself.
