Jeff Daniels Wants Jim Carrey to "Go Easy" on Joe Biden on 'SNL'

hollywoodreporter.com:

Jeff Daniels says he's eager to see what long-time friend and collaborator Jim Carrey has planned for his Saturday Night Live run as Joe Biden.

On Wednesday's The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, The Comey Rule star was asked whether he'd spoken to his Dumb and Dumber co-star about the highly anticipated SNL gig.

Daniels shared that he had reached out to the comedian and recent author about taking on the former vice president and Democratic presidential nominee, jokingly telling him not to go too hard on Biden. "I texted him," Daniels said. "I said, 'Go easy, man.

We need him.'" The Kidding star was announced to play the presidential candidate part of the NBC sketch comedy series' 46th season earlier this month and will appear on the show.
