Saturday Night Live returns for Season 46 on Saturday, October 3, and for its big in-studio premiere, the NBC sketch comedy series is going political.

As the 2020 presidential election heats up, Jim Carrey is joining the mix as Joe Biden and SNL is giving fans a sneak peek at his transformation in a newly-released promo. Announced in mid-September, Carrey’s take on the former VP is one of many political figures likely to pop-up in Studio 8H this season.
