Jim Carrey will portray Joe Biden in the next series of 'Saturday Night Live'.
The 'Mask' actor - who has been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump - has agreed to depict the Democratic presidential candidate in a series of sketches for the 46th season of the long-running comedy series.
Showrunner Lorne Michaels told Vulture: "There was some interest on his part. And then we responded, obviously, positively.
"But it came down to discussions about what the take was.
"He and Colin Jost had a bunch of talks. He and I as well.
"He will give the part energy and strength. Hopefully it's funny."
Woody Harrelson and Jason Sudeikis have previously played the politician on the show, but Lorne is "thrilled" to have Jim on board.
He added: "Obviously Woody [Harrelson] did Biden on the first show last season and did it brilliantly.
"Jason [Sudeikis] has done it in the past. Part of it also is whoever does it has to basically relocate to New York because of quarantine.
"So, there were a lot of factors involved in that. But I'm thrilled Jim's doing it."
