**Dana Carvey Bids Farewell to SNL with Memorable Biden Impression**

Dana Carvey's portrayal of President Joe Biden on Saturday Night Live (SNL) is coming to an end, wrapping up a notable run on the iconic NBC sketch comedy show. Carvey, an SNL veteran, returned this season to portray Biden in the weeks leading up to Election Day. His impressions have garnered considerable attention, including a memorable moment with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Last weekend, during Harris' surprise appearance on the show, she encountered Carvey while he was still in character. Reflecting on the moment in his Superfly podcast, Carvey noted that Harris found his Biden impression amusing. “She laughed so hard," he recalled. "She was bent over laughing." Carvey described the interaction as a "very human moment" that showcased the emotional connection in the studio.

Harris' unplanned appearance took place in Maya Rudolph's dressing room, where Carvey stayed in character as Biden. This incident highlighted the engaging and cathartic nature of Carvey’s performance, as seen through Harris' reaction.

In last week's episode, the cold open featured Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris, with the real Vice President appearing in a mirror to exchange affirmations, a skit that resonated with audiences. Harris' surprise visit required NBC to comply with the FCC’s equal time rule, subsequently offering 90 seconds of free advertising to former President Donald Trump.

This season featured several notable returns including Carvey and Rudolph reprising their roles alongside Andy Samberg as Doug Emhoff and comedian Jim Gaffigan as Tim Walz. Carvey's departure marks the end of a unique and memorable run on SNL, underscoring the show's continued relevance in political satire.
