The NBC variety show returned for its season premiere Saturday and opened its 47th season with new cast member James Austin Johnson taking on the role of Biden.
"What's cookin', what's good?" Johnson's Biden said, kicking off the premiere. "How was everybody's summer? Mine was bad."
Johnson's Biden added that on the bright side, he "went the entire summer without falling down the stairs once."
Johnson's Biden then brought out a bunch of fellow Democrats from different ends of the political spectrum. That included Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, played by Cecily Strong, and Sen. Joe Manchin, played by Aidy Bryant, as well as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, played by Melissa Villaseñor, and Rep. Ilhan Omar, played by Ego Nwodim.
