Mocks Donald Trump, inspires with Maya Rudolph

Kamala Harris made a last-minute appearance on “Saturday Night Live” to inject some humor into the final days of the presidential campaign.

The current vice president and presidential hopeful appeared during the Nov. 2 cold open, which kicked off with a CNN parody with Chloe Fineman playing Kaitlan Collins. It culminated in a Trump rally, where James Austin Johnson’s portrayal of the former president addressed his recent garbage truck stunt and vest, his strange microphone gestures and controversial comments from Liz Cheney, before focusing on Bowen Yang as Trump’s vice presidential hopeful J.D. Vance.

It then transitioned to a conversation about the campaign between Maya Rudolph’s Harris, Dana Carvey’s President Joe Biden, Andy Samberg’s second gentleman Doug Emhoff and Jim Gaffigan’s future vice president Tim Walz.

Rudolph’s Harris then took a minute to think before her final campaign speech, looked in the mirror and saw the real Harris after saying, “I wish I could talk to someone who’s been in my shoes, you know?” A Black, South Asian woman running for president…preferably from the Bay Area.”

The duo then talked about how “you can do something your opponent can’t do: you can open doors… like a garbage truck.” Real Harris then asked Rudolph about her impression, saying, “I don’t really smile like that, do I?” to which Rudolph replied, “A little bit.” They also mention that America must “keep Kamala and move on.”

The episode was the fifth of the 50th season of ‘Saturday Night Live’. John Mulaney hosted with pop singer Chappell Roan as musical guest.

Earlier in the day, Harris was in Atlanta for a rally, with guests including Spike Lee and Victoria Monét. She then went to another event in Charlotte, with Bon Jovi and Khalid. After “SNL,” the vice president will head to Michigan State in East Lansing for a rally on Sunday.

Although Trump has not appeared on Saturday Night Live this season, he has hosted the show twice: once in 2004 and once when he was a presidential candidate in 2015.
