Jim Carrey will play Joe Biden when "Saturday Night Live" returns for its 46th season next month, NBC confirmed in an emailed statement Wednesday.
The big picture: The show is due to return Oct. 3. "'SNL' is planning to have a limited in-studio audience at Rockefeller Center for the upcoming season," a spokesperson said. The show "will work closely" with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's team to ensure it meets requirements to protect against COVID-19, the spokesperson added. "SNL" was produced remotely earlier this year due to the pandemic.
