SNL alum Jason Sudeikis returns to mock Joe Biden
Saturday Night Live alum Jason Sudeikis returned to his old stomping grounds on Saturday evening to reprise his role as former Vice President Joe Biden.
The show used the cold open to lampoon Biden, who's come under fire recently after several women complained that his physical contact has made them feel uncomfortable in the past, as he gears up to run for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. Sudeikis' Biden is called into his 2020 headquarters where two of his staffers have set up a sensitivity training session, so that he can learn to respect people's personal space.
