Sept. 29 (UPI) -- Zombieland 2 star Woody Harrelson played former Vice President Joe Biden when he guest hosted this weekend's Season 45 premiere of Saturday Night Live.

"There's no need to worry any more. Daddy's here, America. I see you, I hear you, I sniff you and I hug you from behind. Now, as I ask any time I walk into a room -- where am I and what the hell is going on?" Harrelson as Biden said in a parody of a CNN Impeachment Town Hall with the 2020 Democrat candidates.
