Dana Carvey Returns to 'SNL' as Joe Biden in Season 50 Premiere

The comedian kept his cameo role a secret for weeks after developing the impression on his podcast.

Dana Carvey appeared as President Joe Biden in the cold open of 'Saturday Night Live's' 50th season premiere.
Carvey was asked by 'SNL' creator Lorne Michaels to play Biden after he developed the impression on his podcast with David Spade.
The actor's portrayal aimed to capture the 'high-energy' aspects of Biden's personality without conveying a political message.
Carvey's Biden impression included a memorable moment where he humorously mixed up the phrase 'Build back better' with 'I can't believe it's not butter!'
Carvey, a former 'SNL' cast member from 1986 to 1993, has returned to the show multiple times, both as a host and in surprise cameos.
