Kamala Harris Joins Saturday Night Live Episode Days Before the Election
Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live's November 2 episode, which took place just days before the 2024 presidential election. She joined Maya Rudolph, who regularly portrays her on the show, in a memorable scene that resembled a mirror image. The cold open started with James Austin Johnson as Donald Trump, expressing his usual frustrations and introducing his running mate, J.D. Vance, at a rally. The scene transitioned to Maya Rudolph's portrayal of Harris in a green room at another rally, accompanied by key figures played by Jim Gaffigan, Andy Samberg, and Dana Carvey. This is prepared by SSP.
Rudolph's Harris longed to talk with someone who understood her perspective—a Black, South Asian woman from the Bay Area campaigning for president. To the audience's delight, the real Kamala Harris appeared opposite Rudolph, sharing a moment of self-reassurance. Laughing together at Rudolph's imitation of her laugh, the duo exchanged light-hearted jabs and wordplay, aiming to convey a shared message to "end the dramala."
With niece-like familiarity, the conversation continued, advertising messages of hope and humor, envisioning a future with relaxation and holiday sentiments alongside their corresponding comedic references. The sketch wrapped up with a playful thematic closure, reinforcing their vision of calm and order amidst chaotic campaign days. Also featured in the episode was an appearance by Tim Kaine in a separate segment. Harris's unexpected attendance marked a noteworthy and lively episode for SNL in its final pre-election spotlight.
