Kamala Harris Appears on ‘SNL’ Cold – NBC New York

Live from New York, it’s Vice President Kamala Harris!

The Democratic presidential candidate made a last-minute public appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” alongside Maya Rudolph, who impersonated Harris on the show throughout the election season .

The cold open began with James Austin Johnson impersonating former President Donald Trump, dressed as a garbage collector, alluding to something the former president actually did earlier in the week.

The sketch then switches to Rudolph as Harris, with Jim Gaffigan as Harris’ running mate and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Andy Samberg as Doug Emhoff.

The two eventually leave Rudolph as Harris alone to practice his speech.

“God, I wish I could talk to someone who’s been in my shoes,” Rudolph said as Harris. “A black South Asian woman, preferably from the Bay Area.”

Rudolph as Harris then looks at the mirror to find the real Harris looking back at her.

“You and me, sister,” the real Harris said.

“I’m just here to remind you that you get this. Because you can do something that your opponent can’t do, you can open doors,” the real Harris added.

Rudolph as Harris then imitates the vice president’s laugh.

“I don’t really laugh like that, do I?” » the real Harris asked cheekily.

“A little,” Rudolph replied like Harris.

Then it was Rudolph’s turn to share a message with the real Harris.

“Now Kamala, take my palmala,” Rudolph said. “The American people want to end the chaos.”

“And end the drama,” the real Harris joked.

“With a cool new stepmom,” Rudolph joked. “Put our pajamas back on and watch a rom-com.”

“Like legally Blondala,” the real Harris joked.

“And start decorating for Christmas. Falalala,” Rudolph said.

“Because what do they always say, keep calm and wear ondala,” they both said together.

“We know each other so well that we even end each other…” Rudolph began to say before the real Harris joined in to make them both say, “belief in the promise of America “.

The two then stood up to deliver the iconic “SNL” opening.

But first, Rudolph said she would vote for “us,” or the real Harris, in the presidential election.

“Great, is there any chance you’re registered in Pennsylvania?” the real Harris joked.

Harris’ schedule initially had her traveling to Detroit after a campaign event in North Carolina on Saturday, but instead she and her campaign traveled to New York for the show.

This isn’t the first time a presidential candidate has appeared on the iconic sketch show. Last season, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley appeared on the show while running in the Republican primary.

Former President Donald Trump also hosted the show as a candidate in 2015, and former President Barack Obama appeared on the show in 2007.

Comedian John Mulaney hosted the episode alongside musical guest Chappell Roan.
