Jim Carrey and Maya Rudolph slip into character as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in Saturday Night Live season 46 premiere tease
Saturday Night Live returns to the studio this weekend for the season 46 premiere, after wrapping up last season with some socially-distanced episodes.
And the long-running NBC sketch comedy show is already taking aim at the presidential election, which is heating up with just weeks to go.
The show released a sneak peek Thursday of Jim Carrey and Maya Rudolph getting into full hair, makeup and costume as Democratic candidate Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris.
Live from New York: Jim Carrey and Maya Rudolph got into full hair, makeup and costume as Democratic candidate Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris, as they teased this weekend’s season 46 premiere of Saturday Night Live
The duo sat in makeup chairs, as it showed them getting fitted with lace-front wigs, before getting into costume.
Jim checked his watch, tied his Chuck Taylors and threw his jacket on, before the final looks were revealed.
They stood back-to-back as Jim slipped on some cool Joe aviators, while Maya served some boss babe Kamala realness with her mug.
SNL posted the video to Twitter, captioned: ‘Ladies and gentlemen… Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. #SNLPremiere’
Hot Girl Meg also took to her Instagram with promo video, in which she appears with Rock, who was part of the cast from 1990 to 1993 and is hosting for the third time.
The first-time musical guest wrote: ‘WE JUST DON’T STOP HOTTIES @nbcsnl @chrisrock’
The comedian appeared on the iconic 30 Rockefeller stage, addressing the camera in ‘Rock’ black face mask.
He said: ‘Hey, I’m Chris Rock, and I’m hosting the season premiere of SNL this week with musical guest Megan Thee Stallion. Show’s gonna be great. We’re not even worried. Right, Megan?’
The WAP artist then joined him in front of the camera, sporting some hazmat gear, as she confidently responded: ‘Nope!’
