The latest “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) episode aired late last night focused on celebrating Joe Biden’s presidential win in the opening sketch especially since it was the first episode aired after Biden was announced as the winner of the 2020 presidential elections.

The opening sketch was presented by Jim Carrey as Joe Biden, Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris and Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump as they shared their victory speeches.

“Thank you very much, America! We did it!” Carrey opened the sketch before continuing “Can you believe it? I honestly kind of can’t. it’s been so long since something good happened.”

He then joked that he has never felt this alive which is ironic since he is not that alive and that he will be a president to all the American citizens whether they are from a liberal state like California, a conservative state like Oklahoma or even a cracked out hot mess like Florida.

The sketch also checked out to Baldwin’s concession speech where he said “Thank you for coming to watch my victory speech tonight. As anyone who died halfway through Tuesday knows, I was re-elected president of the United States.” Before adding that the election was stolen from him and saying “This isn’t goodbye, America. See you in court!”

The sketch came back to Carrey and Rudolph who announced that they unlike president Trump accept the results of the election before Carrey closed the sketch saying “We have to act graciously in victory. We need to go forward together. Unfortunately, there are situations in life, and this is one of them, where there must be a winner and a LOOOOOSER.”
