SNL’s final episode of 2020 introduced Moffat as the show’s new Biden impersonator, following a brief and divisive stint by comedian Jim Carrey. But the SNL cast member has yet to reprise his role since Biden took office last month. This week’s opener avoided politics almost completely aside from occasional references to the nation’s political divisions and a spoof ad for Papa John’s that evoked the debunked Pizzagate claim in an effort to counter progressive Super Bowl ads. Beyond the Super Bowl theme, the sketch didn’t feel particularly timely — or tap into the cultural zeitgeist quite like the too-real Zillow sketch that aired later in the show. Super Bowl Sunday is going to look a lot different this year.
