Kamala Harris Appears on ‘SNL’ with Maya Rudolph and They Both Can’t Stop Laughing

Kamala Harris couldn’t help but laugh at Maya Rudolph’s impression of her when she made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live three days before the US presidential election.

The vice president appeared on the November 2 episode of the show in a cold sketch alongside Rudolph, the former “SNL” cast member who has portrayed her on the series since 2019.

The real Harris emerged when Rudolph’s Harris took a moment to cheer herself up backstage during her final campaign stop in Pennsylvania, one of the election’s crucial swing states.

“I would love to talk to someone who has been in my shoes, a black, South Asian woman running for president, preferably from the Bay Area,” Rudolph’s Harris told the mirror.

“You and me, sister,” replied the real Harris on the other side of the mirror, dressed in the same dark pantsuit.

Both women laughed as the audience applauded.

“I’m here to remind you, you got this because you can do something your opponent can’t: you can open doors,” the real Harris said, referring to Donald Trump’s difficulty opening a garbage truck door during the campaign trail. campaigns. stop in Wisconsin this week.

Rudolph’s Harris then laughed back, prompting the vice president to ask, “I don’t really laugh that much, do I?”

“A little,” responded Rudolph’s Harris.

The duo continued to play happily on the theme of “Momala,” as Harris’ adopted children call it.

“Now, Kamala, talk to my palmala,” Rudolph’s Harris said, extending her hand to the vice president.

Together, the couple vowed to win the election to stop all the drama in the US so they could relax in their pajamas and watch a rom-comala.

Towards the end of the sketch, two women stood with their arms around each other. “I’m going to tell you something. I will vote for us!” Kamala Rudolph said.

“Big! Any chance you’re registered in Pennsylvania?” asked the real Harris.

“No, that’s not true,” replied Rudolf.

“Well, it’s worth a try,” the real Harris added, before both shouted in unison: “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!”

“SNL” fans took to YouTube comments to express how much they loved the sketch, with some adding their own jokes.

“This parody was just a bomb!” one noticed.

“I love that when Kamala broke down and started giggling, Maya mimicked her movements as if it were a real reflection,” another person wrote.

“The fact that these two ladies imitate each other is just the most amazing thing. Thank you both and the SNL team,” another added.

Both “SNL” and Harris posted photos from the sketch on Instagram, captioning them “Kamala and Kamala.”

Rudolph and Harris also had some fun backstage, lip-syncing to “We Are Not the Same Person” in an “SNL” behind-the-scenes video posted to Instagram.
