Jim Carrey wore the white wig for the premiere sketch and the actor was joined by Alec Baldwin as President Donald Trump and Beck Bennett played Fox News' Chris Wallace, who moderated the debate.
Maya Rudolph also reprised her Emmy-winning role of Senator and vice presidential hopeful Kamala Harris.
"And you did take the Covid test that you promised to take in advance, correct?" Bennett's Wallace asked.
"Absolutely, scout's honor," Baldwin's Trump responded with his fingers crossed.
Bennett's Wallace then brought out Carrey's Biden.
"Just one second, Chris," he said, using a tape measure to put enough space between himself and Baldwin's Trump.
Bennett's Wallace said that it looked like Carrey's Biden was ready to debate.
"Absolutely not," he responded. "But I got the beginning of 46 fantastic ideas that I may or may not have access to."
Then the debate kicked off. However, instead of a debate it was just Baldwin's Trump and Carrey's Biden yelling back and forth at each other.
"Chris Wallace is mean, the economy is mean. It keeps losing jobs, which is mean to me," Baldwin's Trump said.
He then called the pandemic a hoax.
"That statement is something that will probably come back to haunt me later this week," he said.
Maya Rudolph's Kamala Harris then came out to stop Trump from being mean to her running mate.
"You look at me, Donald. You do not treat my Joe like that," she said. "He's a nice boy."
Carrey didn't do an impression of Biden so much as perform an impressionistic interpretation of the Vice President. And that approach received some mixed reviews on Twitter.
