Kamala Harris makes surprise SNL appearance as US election looms

Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on ‘Saturday Night Live’ in the final days before the U.S. presidential election, playing herself as the mirror-image double of Maya Rudolph’s version of her in the show's cold open. The first lines the candidate spoke as she sat across from Rudolph— their outfits identical— were drowned out by cheers from the audience. “It is nice to see you Kamala,” Harris told Rudolph with a broad grin she kept throughout the sketch. In sync, the two said supporters need to “Keep Kamala and carry-on-ala,” declaring that they share each other’s “belief in the promise of America.” The sketch followed a satirical impression of former U.S. president Donald Trump’s Friday speech in Wisconsin, where he appeared to simulate a sex act on a microphone following technical difficulties. Before Harris’ appearance, former SNL cast member Andy Samberg appeared as Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff, while stand up comic Jim Gaffigan played Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
