Now that Joe Biden has been elected president, it's time for SNL to drop Jim Carrey as his impersonator

Los Angeles Times

"The late-night institution, with its rich history of presidential impersonations dating all the way back to Dan Aykroyd’s hilarious portrayal of Richard Nixon, is struggling to meet the challenges of a post-Trump presidency," says Lorraine Ali. "The show that so brilliantly portrayed a philandering, fast food-loving Bill Clinton (courtesy of Phil Hartman) and an in-over-his-head George W. Bush (via Will Ferrell) is now struggling to find its comedic footing in time to greet the forthcoming administration, even with the usually formidable talent of Jim Carrey in its arsenal. Despite the aviator glasses, silver hair and 'here’s the deal' phraseology, the gregarious Carrey has had a hard time exploiting Biden’s demeanor on the national stage this year — deliberate, controlled and understated. The exaggerated expressions that made the actor perfect for The Mask or The Truman Show — better suited to the sly yet expansive Biden of the Obama administration — have made it difficult for him to embody the former vice president and six-term senator from Delaware. Saturday’s election-win sketch revealed Carrey has gotten better at mastering Biden’s cadence, open hand gestures and grin, but we’re still a long way from a decisive victory."
