“#Jim Carrey finally gets laughs while Alec Baldwin treads water<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n It took him three veeping weeks, but Jim Carrey was actually pretty funny as Joe Biden on \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d this time.<\/p>\n

Before tonight, I would not have bet on the actor budging a centimeter.<\/p>\n

The first two episodes of the season creaked along like an Amtrak train as the famous funnyman, 58, leaned too heavily on his physical comedy schtick from \u201cThe Mask\u201d to play a 77-year-old and was stuck in a mediocre sketch in which his DNA became combined with the vice presidential debate fly.<\/p>\n

But Carrey waved good-Biden to his failures in the latest \u201cSNL\u201d cold open that took aim at this week\u2019s \u201cdueling town halls\u201d \u2014 with Biden speaking to voters and George Stephanopoulos on ABC and President Trump app<\/a>earing on NBC with Savannah Guthrie.<\/p>\n

His Biden zingers, at least, tickled.<\/p>\n

A voter in the audience asked the former vice president what his plan for coronavirus was.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike the president, I have plan,\u201d Carrey\u2019s Biden replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is it?\u201d pressed the confused voter.<\/p>\n

Carrey shot back, \u201cIt\u2019s a detailed proposal for doing or achieving something.\u201d Solid \u201cWho\u2019s On First?\u201d, set \u2019em up, knock \u2019em down stuff.<\/p>\n

Piling on, Carrey also sang \u201cIt\u2019s A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood\u201d while donning a red sweater, and later turned into TV painter Bob Ross.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou see, each tree has its own personality, just like America. Does that answer your question?,\u201d Carrey said, not answering the question.<\/p>\n

None of this was incisive or notably smart, but the comedy show finally acknowledged Biden\u2019s personality, instead of merely boosting his candidacy like a social<\/a>ly distant pep rally. Carrey was consistently fun to watch.<\/p>\n

Alec Baldwin\u2019s crummy Trump, however, remains a textbook case of plus \u00e7a change<\/em>. As usual, none of the actor\u2019s one-liners or pursed-lips mannerisms got guffaws. The writers seem more lost than ever on how to handle the president humorously.<\/p>\n

His main gag was mispronouncing names: he called Guthrie \u201cSerengeti\u201d and judge Amy Coney Barrett \u201cConan O\u2019Brien.\u201d That\u2019s recycling what Will Ferrell\u2019s George W. Bush used to do much more lovably 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

Baldwin\u2019s Trump doesn\u2019t work because it\u2019s never risen above an impression to become a fleshed-out character. His irritating take has worn thin during this administration because the actor wears his contempt for the president on his sleeve. The actor is persistently awkward, and his moments all fell flat tonight.<\/p>\n

The sketch ended with a WrestleMania bout \u2014 folding chairs and all \u2014 with Kate McKinnon\u2019s combative Guthrie. Terribly clich\u00e9d.<\/p>\n

Some say Baldwin, 62, has no other option than what he\u2019s doing because of the president\u2019s big personality. But it can be done.<\/p>\n

The best Trump impression ever belongs to a British drag queen named The Vivienne who appeared on \u201cRuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK.\u201d It\u2019s a knowledgable, quick-witted, lived-in performance.<\/p>\n

Baldwin should go to YouTube and learn from that drag queen, instead of being a drag.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
