1. sweet!

I have grown to really appreciate Mr. Carrey's talents in recent years.

[frazzled]

2. Ick

I’m not a fan of Jim Carrey or his histrionics. He seems an unlikely choice, but I’ll give it a chance.

I’m just worried the portrayal will reinforce the crazy Joe mischaracterization.

4. Jim is one of us

He hate Trump bigly.

[frazzled]

7. It's not about his politics

It’s about his acting, even his recent acting. I’m willing to consider that he will rise to the occasion, however. I trust the producers (sort of).

[nolabear]

17. He's actually capable of acting quite subtly. And he's so anti 45

He won’t lampoon. And it’ll get a ton of attention. I think he’ll do well.

19. The fact that he wasn't nominated for Truman Show is still a crime, IMO.

25. I know, loved that movie.

[nolabear]

26. Especially now we're all in a reality tv show.

I loved The Truman Show. His really bizarre series is good too.

[Initech]

27. And our president was a reality TV star.

8. Exactly. He won't trash Biden.

3. noice!

5. Are the cast members in a bubble?

So that they can actually do skits together instead of having to do the "at home" thing?

21. I bet that's why they are waiting through Sept is they'll have them quarantine and then live/work

in a bubble throughout Oct. They know that leading up to the election is ratings gold and the more they can get Trump riled up each week the better chance he'll get voted out. They all hate him as much as the rest of us and consider this an honor and a duty to their country.

6. He'll knock it out of the park.

His impressions have always been some of the best in the world.

In his early standup work, he did characters no one else would. His Fred MacMurray was classic!

9. I know I am in the minority but I really don't like Jim Carrey.

I find his voice and mannerisms really annoying.

[monmouth4]

10. I agree, cannot watch him..n/t

[LakeArenal]

12. Not sure you are in such a minority.

Dumb and dumber was the worst movie series ever.

[USALiberal]

28. Lol, nice try, Budget $17 million, box office $240 million

[Buckeye_Democrat]

11. I'm guessing that he'll be using fake white teeth.

But he will probably portray Biden favorably overall.

[Dave Starsky]

16. He absolutely hates Trump with a flaming passion.

I am completely confident that he will do good by Joe.

[TheBlackAdder]

13. When in Joe's character, if he impersonates Trump speaking, will he do it like Ace Ventura?

.

People tell me I have the biggest brain! I know more about ISIS than the generals.

14. He'll be good

Professional comedians make very good actors.

[lagomorph777]

15. Trump will be played by a steaming diaper.

[Revanchist]

18. Meh, bring back Woody Harrelson or Jason Sudeikis. N/T

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

23. I like Jason Sudeikis as Joe Biden a lot. n/t

[Initech]

20. Excellent choice! Jim is one of us!

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

22. can't wait to see some new snl shows n/t

[ffr]

24. Please, oh please, let him do

when referring to tRump/GOP.
