Biden did however appear on the show.<\/p>\n<p>Literally.<\/p>\n<p>NBC flashed a pre-recorded snippet of the Commander in Chief discussing famous Delaware denizens, a bit tied to the state\u2019s own Aubrey Plaza hosting the show.<\/p>\n<p>Are you still laughing?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSNL\u2019s\u201d extreme bias isn\u2019t new, but it\u2019s\u00a0still surreal to see how far \u201cSNL\u201d It has fallen.
