Steve Martin has jokingly offered his acting services to Joe Biden on Saturday Night Live.
The actor recently met the US president at the Kennedy Center Honors, where SNL boss Lorne Michaels was honoured for his career.
Biden poked fun at Michaels calling him “Mr. Wiseguy” and acknowledging how seven different comedians had played the politician on the show over the years.
The president mentioned Martin in his address, who was a past Kennedy Center Honoree. He asked the actor to stand while talking about him, to which he replied: “Do you want me to play you?”
Biden responded: “Steve, I’m afraid you understand me too well.”
