I really liked his Jeff Goldblum impersonation, not so much his Joe Biden.

(10,156 posts)Look I don't like the impersonation myself but he's still a nice guy and hates Trump. I mean Jim Carrey this is how he acts he's always been over the top

(7,411 posts)It wasn't that funny, but I'm hit or miss on SNL anyway. I will say Biden is difficult to skewer in the same way as Trump. If Carrey can't crack the code, then nobody can.
Baldwin always nails Trump but it's getting kind of old. Trump is a kind of cartoon character in real life, so the material writes itself.
It's the same as Will Ferrell's George W impression. Spot on. That was a lot easier than trying to ridicule Obama.
I can't prove it, but these are facts.

(2,017 posts)I absolutely despise anything hes ever done really, except The Truman Show and some of his stuff on In Living Color. Hes one of those comedians who tries too hard and thinks hes a lot funnier than hes capable of being.

(9,968 posts)I missed SNL last night, did see his impersonation of Biden last week, was not impressed. But then again, as I mentioned, I'm biased.

(4,483 posts)Whoever it was, he was a million times better than Carrey.
Carrey got the job because he wanted it, and he's Jim Carrey. He's just awful as Biden, and when Biden wins, we'll be subjected to him for four years.
Alec Baldwin's Trump is OK, but it sparkles because it pisses Trump off so much.

(2,336 posts)Don't recall the name but it had that smile, and was an ass, so he portrayed him as an evil ass clown which he is not. I really did not like it at all. Did enjoy the tRump character though. Pretty realistic.
