Dana Carvey shares details of his surprise Joe Biden cameo on SNL premiere
Dana Carvey recently shared details about his surprise appearance as Joe Biden on the Season 50 premiere of "Saturday Night Live." He revealed that "SNL" creator Lorne Michaels invited him to impersonate Biden after Carvey began doing impressions on his podcast. Carvey kept the cameo a secret for weeks and aimed to make his portrayal humorous rather than political. He noted that Biden's character is more challenging to impersonate compared to other political figures, but he focused on capturing Biden's energetic moments. The episode featured other notable cast members, including Maya Rudolph and Andy Samberg. Carvey's return to "SNL" marks his first appearance since he was a cast member from 1986 to 1993.
