The vice president made a brief appearance on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend.
Heading into a new “Saturday Night Live” hosted by the frequent guest John Mulaney on the last weekend before the presidential election, viewers were prepared for surprises. And they surely got one: a cameo appearance from Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia.
And — oh yes — a visit from Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, who played herself in the show’s opening sketch, alongside Maya Rudolph, who frequently impersonates Harris on “S.N.L.”
In the sketch, Rudolph played Harris preparing for a rally in Philadelphia, speaking into a mirror and 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 real-life Harris appeared as Rudolph’s reflection and gave her some words of inspiration. “I’m just here to remind you: You got this,” Harris said. “Because you can do something your opponent cannot do: You can open doors.”
“S.N.L.” has a tradition of featuring presidential candidates on the show, sometimes just days before the conclusion of the presidential election.
