Trump vs. Harris in ‘Family Feud’

Saturday evening live mocked Donald Trump’s refusal to have another debate and instead had him confront Kamala Harris Family feud.

Starring Kenan Thompson as host Steve Harvey, the cold open brought back election season regulars: Maya Rudolph as Harris, joined by her “family” of Andy Samberg as Doug Emhoff, Jim Gaffigan as Tim Walz and Dana Carvey as Joe Biden. James Austin Johnson was joined by Mikey Day as Don Jr. and Bowen Yang as JD Vance, with one spot missing for Melania Trump.

“It’s so strange. I could have sworn she was standing right next to me about two years ago,” Trump said as Harvey introduced the team players.

As Trump and Harris faced off before the buzzers, the former president told Harvey, “I’m telling you Steve, she’s going to be really terrible in this game.” She is a person with a low IQ. The whole world is laughing at her because they don’t respect her the way they respected me.”

Harris responded: “The fact is that Donald Trump loves dictators because anyone can manipulate him simply through flattery.”

Trump protested: “That’s just not true. It’s not true.”

Harris tells him, “You look very handsome.”

Trump has won. ‘I love her. Isn’t she wonderful?”

The first question: “Name something you keep in your glove compartment.”

Harris came in first.

She then transitioned into her stump speech. “Steve, look, I grew up in a middle-class family. My mother raised my sister and me, okay? She has worked and saved hard, and we also have a second mother.”

Harvey replied, “Okay, did that mom have a glove compartment?”

Harris said, “A small business owner named Miss Shelton.”

Harvey grew impatient and told her, “Okay, we got that. Something you keep in your glove compartment.”

“Oh, a Glock, Steve, a big old Glock.”

In town halls and interviews, Harris had said she is a gun owner as her campaign has tried to win over centrist voters and pushed back on Trump’s claim that she wants to take away people’s guns.

This was the third week in a row that SNL has played Rudolph, Gaffigan, Samberg, and Carvey out in the cold open, with the latter portraying Biden as endlessly confused (he called Harvey “Regis”), and with a dose of Biden-isms. ‘I get my rest. Number one: I sleep when I can. Number two, I’m going to sleep now.’

Trump, meanwhile, objects to the first question — name something kept in a glove compartment — when it’s his team’s opportunity to steal.

“Well Steve, I’ve never sat in the front seat of a car before, so this question is very unfair. So to answer this, I’m going to make one of my signature weaves, right? It’s called a weave where I say a lot of different things, but it all comes together so beautifully, like an episode of Seinfeld. Seinfeld, you know, Jerry always wore mom jeans. Bad genes, just like the immigrants who are ruining this country. They eat the pets! They eat Moo Deng! It’s so sad. If you look at Korea, you’re looking at Japan, that doesn’t even include America. There’s no room. So it’s like a glove compartment, there’s no space. See what I did there Steve?

“I know exactly what you did,” Harvey responded, before concluding what Trump was trying to answer. “Show me, dementia!”
