Joe Biden might be winning over voters these days — or so it appears — but Jim Carrey winning over critics and Biden supporters with his over-the-top impression on “Saturday Night Live,” not so much.
In the final weeks before the election, Carrey has taken the job of impersonating the folksy Democratic candidate for president on “SNL,” but many of the show’s viewers don’t think the former vice president and the manic comedian are a good fit.
In the show’s cold open the last three weeks, Carrey (and “SNL” writers) has lampooned Biden in such a way that has turned off many on social media. Viewers on Twitter — many of whom support Biden — have voiced that Carrey’s trademark balls-to-the-wall style didn’t mesh with Biden. Some even went as far as to say that his take on Biden made them “uncomfortable.”
“Jim Carrey’s #SNL Biden shtick is just a cringe-superspreader.
