He’s the fifth actor to play the president-elect on the show in 15 months.
As Alex Moffat made his debut as the newest Joe Biden on “Saturday Night Live,” even the show had to acknowledge the weirdness of the situation for the North Shore actor — “SNL’s” fifth Biden in less than 15 months. “I’m like Colonel Sanders,” Moffat said from under his silver Biden wig. “Every time you see me I’m a different guy. There’s a good chance this time next year I’ma be Mario Lopez.” Sounding a bit like Will Ferrell’s classic take on George W. Bush, the new bogus Biden made just a brief appearance in an opening sketch led by another North Shore native, Wilmette’s Beck Bennett, re-creating Vice President Mike Pence’s COVID-19 vaccine.
