This quote explains why The Weeknd had Jim Carrey on his new album, ‘Dawn FM’

They’re pals!

The Weeknd’s new album, Dawn FM, has dropped on Friday.

And to a lot of people’s surprise, there’s a special guest on it that they might not have seen coming: Jim Carrey’s on it!

Yes, THAT Jim Carrey. The actor known for Liar Liar, Dumb and Dumber, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and so much more has a few cameos on the album as a DJ of a faux radio station.

On the opening track, he says, “You are now listening to 103.5 Dawn FM. You’ve been in the dark for way too long. It’s time to walk into the light and accept your fate with open arms. Scared? Don’t worry. We’ll be there to hold your hand and guide you through this painless transition.”

So why is Carrey on the album (besides the fact that Jim Carrey is awesome)? Let’s dive in:

LeBron James loved Jim Carrey as Joe Biden on this week’s Saturday Night Live

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James loved seeing what the folks at Saturday Night Live had written for their post-election show.

Count LeBron James among those who enjoyed themselves while watching this week’s edition of Saturday Night Live, which followed the confirmed results that Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential elections. James was as involved in the political process as he has ever been, creating a new non-profit with his friend and business partner Maverick Carter ‘More Than A Vote,’ to tackle voter suppression while using his platform more than ever to draw attention to issues that plague the United States and in particular, harm the lives of Black people in the United States.

But just like many who enjoyed the results of the election, James also needed to laugh. He had plenty on social media but Jim Carrey’s role in the open of the Nov. 7 SNL got LeBron excited enough to tweet at Carrey, who has played Joe Biden on SNL.

LeBron has been pretty busy posting about the election ever since it became clear that Donald Trump had lost the election.
