SNL's cold open focused on the Vice Presidential debate between Sen. Kamala Harris and current VP Mike Pence, bringing back Jim Carey as Joe Biden who had been transformed into the now infamous fly that landed on Pence's head. During the new season's cold open, Pence, played by Beck Bennett, curtsied as he was introduced by debate moderator Susan Page, played by Kate McKinnon. As he took his seat, Harris, played by Maya Rudolph, danced onto the stage, spraying cans of Lysol in both hands. The two candidates were separated by 'buffet-style sneeze guards' because 'one of you works for patient zero,' a dig at President Trump and many of his supporters being diagnosed with coronavirus following a 'superspreader' event at the White House's Rose Garden.

As with the actual debate, the real star of the cold open was the fly that landed on Pence's hair. In SNL's version, the fly was actually Joe Biden - once again played by Jim Carrey - who attempted to teleport to the debate to save it, but on the way there turned into a half-man, half-fly in a parody of the movie, The Fly, which starred Jeff Goldblum. In the cold open, Carrey's fly suit-wearing Biden lands on Pence's head. The actor then slowly morphs his Biden impression into one of Goldblum, complete with a riff on his time as an Apartments.com commercial star. 'Oh no, he's gone full Goldblum!' Biden's wife, Dr. Jill Biden (played by Heidi Gardner), says as she watches the debate from their home sofa and hears Carrey's Biden adopting Goldblum's speaking cadence. After the real-life debate, social media users had joked that Goldblum should appear on SNL playing the fly that landed on Pence's head. The Biden fly was th
