6. Do Not LIke the New Joe Biden

I do not like the new person playing Joe Biden. I think he missed Joe Biden by many miles. He was nothing like the real Joe Biden. I would like to see someone else do Joe Biden, or for them to just bring back Jim Carrey to play Joe Biden. I know some people did not like Jim Carrey as Joe Biden, but I think Jim Carrey was many times better than the guy last night.

Even Carrey only got him halfway right (mainly the voice). The rest have been SNL-failures, stretching all the way back to 2007. The very things that are distinctive of the president, his empathy and decency, are not conducive to satire.
