During the final “Saturday Night Live” before the election, Kamala Harris took a break from her serious campaigning to enjoy some humorous cheers.
The VP made an appearance in the mirror across from Maya Rudolph, who has been playing the veep intermittently since 2020, when she went by Studio 8H at 30 Rockefeller Plaza for Saturday night’s chilly open.
After a rather generic opening with Dana Carvey, Andy Samberg, and other “SNL” stars portraying their typical roles, MR says she just wants to talk to someone who can relate to her experience—a former prosecutor and Black and Southeast Asian woman running for president of the United States of America. You have to watch the clip for yourself.
Naturally, that list is just her. As a result, the audience’s thunderous applause drowns out the statement “You and me both, sister” that the real Kamala says in the mirror.
Taking aim at Donald Trump, Kamala says she can win the election because she can do things her opponent cannot, like open doors. It alludes to DJT’s difficulties opening the garbage truck door when he was driving around earlier this week.
Afterwards, the absurd comedy shifts to a back-and-forth between the Kamalas, who rhyme their name with other everyday terms and phrases, such as “pajamalas” instead of “pajamas” and “Keep Calmala and Carry Onala” instead of “Keep Calm and Carry On.”
The show opens with the famous line “Live from New York, It’s Saturday night” before presenter John Mulaney ascended the stage to give his monologue. The sketch concludes with the two arm in arm.
Speaking at a rally in Atlanta this morning, Kamala had a full day. According to some sources, Air Force 2 was redirected to New York City for her appearance, which was unexpected by the press pool on board. She was originally scheduled to travel to Detroit for some last-minute campaign engagements.
Many people were anticipating KH’s appearance on “SNL” following the abrupt change in plans, and she didn’t let them down, to be honest!
