according to a new Quinnipiac survey.The pair signed off with the iconic “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!”Viewers noticed the concept and set looked strikingly familiar to Donald Trump’s sketch on Jimmy Fallon’s “The Tonight Show” show spot from when he was running for president on Sept.

12, 2015.Jimmy Fallon, a former “Saturday Night Live” member, portrayed Trump during the airing of his late-night talk show.He sat down at what looked like nearly the exact dressing room mirror, saying “Wow, I look fantastic” when Trump – just like Kamala – appeared on the other side of the mirror. “No, we look fantastic and I mean really fantastic,” Trump said.The two Trumps discussed preparing for the then-second Republican Primary Debate, creating jobs, immigration, taxes, his potential vice president pick and him being “really rich.”In both skits, which aired on NBC programs, the comedians mirrored the politicians’ hand movements and expressions as they spoke.Viewers didn’t shy away from pointing out the similar sketches.“Kamala ripped off the same bit Trump did when he was on Saturday Night Live in 2015 …and Trump’s was double the length,” radio host Ari Hoffman said on X. “Kamala on SNL can’t even be ORIGINAL… had to plagiarize Trump and his much funnier skit.

She’s soooo CRINGE,” another user commented.Harris held campaign rallies in Atlanta and Charlotte, NC. earlier Saturday before she traveled to 30 Rock for her “SNL” spot.
