Watch: Kamala Harris Delights SNL Audience with Surprise Appearance

Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on "Saturday Night Live" just days before the election, playing herself alongside Maya Rudolph's impression of her.
As the election season intensifies, Kamala Harris made a memorable cameo on "Saturday Night Live," echoing cheers and smiles.

Dressed to match Maya Rudolph, Harris sparked excitement by stating, "It is nice to see you, Kamala. And I'm just here to remind you, you got this." The duo then shared an inspiring message, urging the audience to "Keep Kamala and carry-on-ala" while affirming their belief in America's promise. They capped off the skit with the signature "Live from New York, it's Saturday night!"

Host John Mulaney and musical guest Chappell Roan took the show beyond politics following Harris's lively opening. After her segment, Harris, glowing with enthusiasm, told reporters, "It was fun!" as she departed New York.

Mulaney shared personal stories, adding a touch of intimacy to the night, while Roan performed her hit "Pink Pony Club," choosing to let her music speak for itself rather than delving into political discourse.

The episode also featured Senator Tim Kaine in a comedic game-show sketch that playfully highlighted his lesser-known role as Hillary Clinton's vice-presidential pick in 2016. Maya Rudolph's portrayal of Harris received widespread acclaim, including from Harris herself, who has consistently lauded Rudolph's meticulous and humorous impersonation since 2019.

This appearance by Harris adds to the storied history of politicians participating in SNL, following notable figures like Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama. Her timely appearance serves as a humorous yet poignant reminder of the blend of entertainment and politics, just as the nation prepares to head to the polls.
