Mocks Donald Trump, inspired with Maya Rudolph

Mocks Donald Trump, inspired with Maya Rudolph

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

The sitting vice president and presidential candidate appeared during the Nov. 2 cold open, which began with a CNN parody in which Chloe Fineman impersonated Kaitlan Collins. It was about a Trump rally where James Austin Johnson's portrayal of the former president touched on his garbage truck stunt and vest, his recent strange microphone gestures and controversial remarks from Liz Cheney, before showing Bowen Yang as Trump's vice presidential candidate JD Vance.

Then there was 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 asked for 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 was in my shoes, you know, a black man, South Asians.” Woman running for president. Preferably from the Bay Area.”

The duo then talk about how “you can do something your opponent can't: you can open doors… like a garbage truck.” Real Harris then asks Rudolph her impression and says, “I don't really laugh like that, do I? ” to which Rudolph replies, “A little.” They also mention that America “needs to keep Kamala and move on.”

The episode was the fifth of the 50th season of “Saturday Night Live.” Hosted by John Mulaney 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 attended another event in Charlotte where Bon Jovi and Khalid performed. After “SNL,” the vice president will travel 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.
