Kamala Harris showed up at Saturday Night Live last night (November 2). Check it out below.The US election is set to take place next Tuesday (November 5), following months of campaigning from Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump.

Harris’s surprise appearance in the show’s cold opening marked their final episode before polling day.The sketch saw the Vice President meet Maya Rudolph’s version of her, following a parody of CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, which showed viewers a spoof Trump rally before cutting to a fictional Harris event in Philadelphia.Rudolph, backstage at a rally, looked at herself in the mirror and wished she could “talk to someone who has been in my shoes.

You know, a Black, South Asian woman running for president, preferably from the Bay Area.”“You and me both, sister,” the vice president responded from the mirror. “It is nice to see you, Kamala, and I’m just here to remind you you got this because you can do something your opponent cannot do.

You can open doors.”Rudolph has portrayed Harris several times in the run-up to the election, having first played her in 2019 in a Democratic primary debate skit.Later Rudolph mimics Harris’s laugh, to which she responds: “I don’t really laugh like that, do I?” Rudolph replied: “A little bit.”Harris and Rudolph exchanged words of wisdom in a pre-election pep talk, encouraging voters to “keep Kamala and carry on-ala”.
