<p>NBC sketch-comedy show &#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221; took a jab at President Joe Biden during the show&#8217;s most recent &#8220;cold open.&#8221;</p>
<p>The comedy sketch, which kicked off SNL&#8217;s first show following the return from winter break, featured James Austin Johnson as Biden, who blamed the recent record-breaking surge of new COVID-19 cases — driven by the highly-infectious Omicron variant — on the release of &#8220;Spider-Man: No Way Home.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Good evening! Hello, my fellow Americans,&#8221; he began, adding a dig at Republican efforts to stop the Democrats&#8217; attempts to overhaul federal elections. &#8220;As I keep saying every chance I get, we&#8217;re in the middle of a cold, dark winter. This winter is so dark, Republicans don&#8217;t think it should vote.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I know this virus has disrupted our lives,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s canceled holidays, weddings, quinceaneras, gender-reveal parties, wildfires that started as gender-reveal parties, whatever the hell is happening with Novak Djokovic. I know you&#8217;re tired of getting emails from your kids school late at night saying, &#8216;Ok, come in tomorrow, we&#8217;re feeling lucky.&#8217; I know every time a stranger breathes on you, you think, &#8216;That&#8217;s it I&#8217;m dead.'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Biden&#8221; then pivoted to offer a solution — one thing Americans could do that he believed would stop the rapid spread of Omicron: stop seeing &#8220;Spider-Man: No Way Home.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;America, I am here to tell you there is one simple thing you can do to make this whole virus go away,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Just stop seeing &#8216;Spider-Man.'&#8221;</p>
<p>The audience laughed as he turned to his visual aids and continued to explain. &#8220;Think about it: when did &#8216;Spider-Man&#8217; come out? December 17th. When did every single person get Omicron? The week after December 17th. Stop seeing &#8216;Spider-Man&#8217;!&#8221; he shouted to continued laughter.</p>
<p>Johnson&#8217;s &#8220;Biden&#8221; opened up the floor for questions, then, and one &#8220;reporter&#8221; asked whether he really believed COVID would stop spreading if people stopped going to movies.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t say don&#8217;t go to the movies,&#8221; he shot back. &#8220;I said stop seeing &#8216;Spider-Man.&#8217; See anything else. I saw the first half-hour of &#8216;House of Gucci,&#8217; that&#8217;s more than enough movie for anyone.&#8221;</p>
<p>After being asked for a breakdown of the data, &#8220;Biden&#8221; replied, &#8220;Everyone in America has seen &#8216;Spider4-Man&#8217; like eight times. Everyone in America also has COVID. Stop seeing &#8216;Spider-Man&#8217;!&#8221;</p>
<p>Biden has <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/at-home-covid-test-deliveries-delayed-after-wild-west-style-train-robberies/">faced criticism</a> lately as plans to ramp up <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/fundamental-lack-of-strategy-gop-sens-blunt-burr-demand-answers-from-biden-administration-on-covid-test-shortage/">testing</a> appear to be too little, too late for the record-shattering Omicron-driven surge of new cases. The White House has denied reports that <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/we-didnt-reject-it-biden-claims-white-house-didnt-reject-mass-testing-before-the-holidays/">Biden shot down</a> a plan for mass testing prior to the holidays, and even press secretary Jen Psaki appeared to laugh off the idea of sending home-testing kits to the American people. But as tests became harder to come by, the Biden administration eventually decided to make home test kits available through the federal government — they must be requested from the government website, they are limited to four test kits per household, and they are expected to ship 7-12 days after the orders are placed.</p>
