It's two-and-a-half Bidens, as Jason Sudeikis returns for the SNL cold open
Sudeikis, James Austin Johnson, and Alex Moffat equal one President
With Saturday Night Live all-star alum Jason Sudeikis coming back to host for the first time last night, viewers were treated to the Ted Lasso Emmy-winner’s signature effortless comedy professionalism. Busting out those Lasso dance moves for his track-suited What’s Up With That? dancer, and those dime-store horns and pitchfork for a recurring manifestation as The Devil on Weekend Update, Sudeikis also kicked off the show by bringing back the garrulous, glad-handing Joe Biden he memorably portrayed back when Uncle Joe was just “America’s wacky neighbor.” (And Vice President, if you want to be technical.)
