Biden and Harris are Joe-Free Zones for SNL, as the show avoids them altogether in 2021 first episode

Saturday Night Live has completely avoided parodying Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in its first episode since the two were sworn in.

Hosted by John Krasinki, the first SNL of 2021 managed not to feature either the president or the vice president in its skits.

Instead, he featured special “appearances” from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Mark Zuckerberg and Tom Brady.

The move has been criticized online by some viewers who described the show as a ‘snoozefest’ that is ‘too afraid to be canceled’.

Others have noted how much Donald Trump has been the butt of their jokes over the past four years.

DailyMail.com has contacted an SNL representative for comment.

Donald Trump of Alec Baldwin was also absent from the opening of the show.

On Twitter, a viewer said: ‘Have 45 people had a honeymoon period? I do not remember.

Another said: ‘Why is SNL NOT doing any sketches on Biden? Is Biden banned?

“ The show that has parodied every president since its inception is afraid of touching Biden, ” one Twitter user said.

Jim Carrey revealed in December that he reached the end of his “tenure” playing the former vice president.

“ Although my tenure is only supposed to last 6 weeks, I was delighted to be elected SNL president … comedy’s biggest call of duty, ” the actor tweeted.

He would have been replaced by Alex Moffat.

But he did not appear as president on the Saturday night show.

Woody Harrelson also made several appearances as the next president at the start of the 2019 presidential campaign.

Jason Sudeikis, who was SNL’s regular Biden player when he was a cast member, returned to play him after Harrelson’s short stint.

Comedian John Mulaney, who wrote for SNL, also returned to play Biden before Carrey took over.

Former SNL cast member Maya Rudolph has appeared as Harris on previous shows.

Instead of focusing on the new administration, the opening skit Kate McKinnon sat down with Rep. Greene (GA-R) – played by Cecily Strong – as she tried to figure out “What’s on?” still works? in 2021.

McKinnon’s next guest was Pete Davidson as Derrick “Boner” Evans, GameStop’s new majority shareholder.

Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, played by Alef Moffat, and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey, played by Mikey Day, were the next guests.

McKinnon then moved on to deploying the vaccine, making Kenan Thompson appear as OJ Simpson – sporting an ankle monitor. The controversial football player recently made headlines after receiving the vaccine.

Played by Krasinki, Tom Brady was the last guest to appear.
