Sun Nov 03 14:22:34 UTC 2024: ## Vice President Harris Makes Surprise SNL Appearance Ahead of Election
**New York, NY** – In a surprise move just days before the election, Vice President Kamala Harris made a cameo appearance on Saturday Night Live, joining Maya Rudolph’s popular impression of her.
The audience erupted in cheers as Harris, dressed identically to Rudolph, greeted her comedic counterpart with, “It is nice to see you, Kamala. And I’m just here to remind you, you got this.” The two then delivered a synchronized message urging supporters to “Keep Kamala and carry-on-ala,” expressing their shared belief in the promise of America.
This marked Harris’s first appearance on SNL since taking office, and her cameo occurred just days before the crucial election. The episode, hosted by comedian John Mulaney with musical guest Chappell Roan, shifted focus away from politics after Harris’s opening segment. Harris left after the opening segment, telling reporters, “It was fun!” as she boarded the plane to leave New York.
While other notable appearances included Senator Tim Kaine in a game-show sketch, the highlight remained Rudolph’s impression of Harris, which has earned critical acclaim, including praise from Harris herself. Rudolph, known for her spot-on portrayal, even adopted the nickname “Momala” – a nod to Harris’s step-children.
This isn’t the first time politicians have graced the SNL stage. Donald Trump hosted in 2015, Hillary Clinton appeared alongside Amy Poehler in 2008, and Barack Obama made a cameo in 2007. However, Harris’s appearance, particularly due to its timing, is seen as a unique and memorable moment in the show’s history.
