"Saturday Night Live" is widely known for its nearly relentless parodies of politicians during election season.
The likes of Alec Baldwin, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have played politicians on the show, and now, Jim Carrey and Maya Rudolph are suiting up to portray Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, respectively.
Rudolph, 48, first played the senator last season in a handful of episodes in a performance so well-received she bagged an Emmy for outstanding guest actress in a comedy series for the role.
Carrey, 58, is set to tackle the role of former Vice President Biden. The actor most recently hosted the show in 2014.
