\u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d returned with its first new show of 2022 with Joe Biden announcing a solution to the current COVID-19 pandemic: stop seeing \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home.\u201d<\/p>\n

New cast member for the 2021-22 season James Austin Johnson appeared as the president during a press briefing in which he urged all Americans to see the film that\u2019s currently lighting up the box office. \u201cAmerica, I\u2019m here to tell you, there\u2019s one simple thing you can do to start making this virus go away: stop seeing \u2018Spider-Man.\u2019\u201d He then tied the beginning of the omicron surge to the opening of \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home,\u201d which scored the second-biggest domestic opening of all time with $260 million. \u201cThink about it. When did Spider-Man come out? Dec. 17. When did every person get omicron? The week after Spider-Man came out.\u201d<\/p>\n

When a member of the press asked Biden if he was asking everyone to stop going to the movies, he clarified: \u201cI didn\u2019t say don\u2019t go to the movies. I said stop seeing \u2018Spider-Man\u2019. See anything else. I saw the first half hour of \u2018House of Gucci\u2019. That\u2019s more than enough movie for anyone,\u201d taking a dig at the Lady Gaga-fronted melodrama from director Ridley Scott.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p><\/div>\n

Austin\u2019s Biden offered a clear mathematical example of how seeing \u2018Spider-Man\u2019 is causing the current surge in COVID-19 numbers: \u201cEveryone in America has seen \u2018Spider-Man\u2019 like eight times. Everyone in America also has COVID.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked by a reporter he referred to as a \u201cnerd\u201d if he thought there was another Joe Biden in different universe, in reference to the multiverse aspect of the \u201cSpider-Man\u201d sequel, Biden went on a run: \u201cAs far as I can tell there are at least three Joe Bidens. One of them is me. One of them is the Joe Biden that lost to Trump \u2013 that one hosts a show on CNBC called \u2018T-Bird\u2019s Tacos and Trains\u2019 \u2013 and then there\u2019s a third Joe Biden who\u2019s the greatest president in history. My approval ratings are sky high. I\u2019m supported by my own party. And I understand the show \u2018Euphoria.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

When a reporter responded with disbelief at Biden\u2019s explanation, he quipped: \u201cDoesn\u2019t that make more sense than whatever the hell our current world is?\u201d<\/p>\n

As the button for the sketch, Pete Davidson appeared as Joe Biden from another universe \u2013 a Joe Biden wearing no t-shirt and with a chest full of tattoos. He explained that everyone here is living in the bad universe, while he comes from \u201cthe real world,\u201d before adding with a smirk on his face: \u201cEveryone on Earth is better off in the real world, except one man named Pete Davidson. Your world is maybe more fun for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
