“Saturday Night Live” offered audiences not one, not two, but three Joe Biden’s on Saturday night.
The NBC variety show opened Saturday’s episode with President Biden, played by James Austin Johnson, bummed out that no one likes him as much as they used to.
“I don’t understand. People used to like me. The press would call me ‘Uncle Joe.’ I miss the old me. Where the hell did that guy go?” Johnson’s Biden asked.
Then a ghostly fog filled the Oval Office and Jason Sudeikis, who is hosting this weekend’s episode, appeared as Vice President Joe Biden — a character he famously played when he was a cast member on the show.
“Hey-o!” Sudeikis’ Biden said, donning a jacket and aviator sunglasses. “Trick or treat, smell my feet. Eh, I’m just kiddin’.”

He then told new Biden that he was “the Ghost of Biden Past,” and explained that where he comes from, he’s still VP, which is an easy gig.
“We’re like America’s wacky neighbor,” he said. “We just pop in with an ice cream cone, some aviator shades, finger guns.”
Old Biden then told Johnson’s Biden to loosen up and started rubbing his shoulders and smelling his hair.
