NBCUniversal(NEW YORK) — Get ready! Saturday Night Live returns with a bang over the weekend right as election season hits full swing.
With Saturday’s premiere airing just days before the highly anticipated Vice Presidential debate between current VP Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris, fans finally got their first look at SNL‘s version of the Democratic ticket.
It was previously announced that Maya Rudolph would reprise her Emmy Award-winning role as Harris while comedian Jim Carrey will join this season to play Joe Biden. The two transformed for their roles in an 18 second teaser, posted Thursday.
The clip shows Carrey donning a convincing head of white hair while Rudolph adjusts her own brown bob before both suit up and stand back to back, officially revealing their look when SNL returns for season 46.
Fans are already remarking on Carrey’s uncanny resemblance to Biden, as the comedian has already replicated the former VP’s wide grin and other mannerisms.
It was also announced that Alec Baldwin will also be returning to portray President Donald Trump once more.
Chris Rock and Megan Thee Stallion were previously announced to ring in the season as host and musical guest, respectively.
Catch the explosive premiere Saturday, October 3, at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
Warner Music NashvileAt a time when many artists, including superstars like Blake Shelton, are embracing single tracks over full-length projects, there are still newcomers like Ingrid Andress who love the album format.
That’s why, just six months after releasing her debut, Lady Like, the “More Hearts Than Mine” hitmaker is giving her collection the Deluxe treatment.
“The chapter of Lady Like was not finished,” she explains, “because I had still been writing during quarantine and there are versions of songs that I made where I was like, ‘This is a part of that chapter. This is the same message that I want.’ And these songs are very much a part of the story that I’m telling of my emotional journey.”
That’s why Lady Like not only grows from eight to thirteen tracks, but also gets a new order.
“I was like, ‘I know it’s weird, but I kind of want to rearrange the track listing in order to match that progression of that time of my life,'” Ingrid says. “And that’s kind of where the inspiration came from, because I feel like the order in which you hear songs is just as important as the songs themselves.”
Even at 29, the double CMA Awards nominee is a bit of an old soul.
“I know that’s kind of an old-school concept, because who listens to albums anymore?” Ingrid asks. “But the way that I used to listen to albums was [from the] top down, if they were really good. I just love that.”
Out today, Lady Like‘s title track is also Ingrid’s new single, and boasts a version of “More Hearts” with Little Big Town‘s Karen Fairchild and Kimberly Schlapman, as well as Ingrid’s take on “Boys,” the pop hit she wrote for Charli XCX.

According to Pollstar, the September 18 show scaled its end stage concert capacity down from 7,2000 to 1,000, providing socially-distanced grouped seating. The venue implemented a clear-bag policy to minimize contact between security staff and fans, and concessions were limited.
Mask-wearing was also mandatory for all attendees, although a photo of the crowd appears to suggest that not everyone watching the show was wearing a face covering, at least while they were seated.
Still, Pollstar data reveals that most attendees reported feeling safe in the facility, giving the event scores of 3.7 and 3.8 out of four total points. In fact, one concertgoer opined that the safety precautions even felt a little too restrictive.
“One guy wrote — in a comment I shared with the city — ‘At times, your ushers were just too proactive, ensuring that I wear a mask every time I went up to the bar, so I don’t know if I’ll be back,’” noted Mike Silva, executive director of the venue. “I’m fine with that. I’d rather our staff be proactive.”
The venue has two more performances planned for this Friday, one of which will be from Aaron Lewis, the singer-songwriter and guitarist from rock group Staind, who also has a solo career as a country artist.
