Watch Jim Carrey and Alec Baldwin skewer the presidential debate

Saturday Night Live returned for its 46th season with a cold open satirising the recent US presidential debate.

In front of a limited live audience, Carrey debuted his comedy performance of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden – following SNL colleagues Woody Harrelson and Jason Sudeikis, who have both previously played the former vice-president – while Alec Baldwin revisited his popular rendition of Donald Trump.

The skit included a reference to Trump and the First Lady’s recent coronavirus diagnosis, per The Hollywood Reporter, wherein the President pulls out his “mask” which transpires to be a pair of underwear.

Watch clips from the premiere below, which includes Maya Rudolph reprising her role as Biden running mate Kamala Harris.
