SNL hired him to play Biden in the upcoming season...


Are they planning to milk a failed contender for a whole season? That's going to get old fast. The losers of the General Election usually drop out of public view within a couple of weeks. Talk about counting your chickens before they have hatched!

They hired Alec Baldwin before Trump was elected. There's probably a clause in the contract IF Biden doesn't get elected. He'll probably make a few appearances then walk away. If Biden gets elected then they've got him locked in.

I don’t think he is a good choice to play Biden. He is too manic. Dana Carvey would be a lot better, and I’m pretty sure he’s available for a lower price.

I've always maintained that Darrell Hammond was a much better Trump than Baldwin and he should have been the portrayer these past 4 years. And Hammond is already always around since he does the opening intro announcing every week.

I’ve never seen Hammond as Trump, so I don’t know about that. Still, I think Baldwin was better suited to play Trump than Carrey to play Biden.

They chose Carey because he does crazy and creepy pretty well, so he will be able to capture the essence of Biden

Jim, give the new kids a chance to shine.

SNL is just not the star producer it once was.

Waste of money. They could’ve just bought a bowl of vegetables at the dollar store.
