Vice President Kamala Harris appeared on “Saturday Night Live,” making a surprise stop during the show’s last episode before Election Day to give her fictional self some advice ahead of the presidential election. “You got this,” Harris told her “SNL” alter ego, Maya Rudolph. The cold open started with a spoof of CNN’s “The Source with Kaitlan Collins” showing viewers a parodied Trump rally before cutting to a shot backstage of a fictional Harris event in Philadelphia. After Andy Samberg, playing second gentleman Doug Emhoff, left the set, Rudolph walked over to sit at a dressing-room table and mused, “I just, 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.” Rudolph – who has played the vice president several times this fall on Saturday Night Live, then sat across from the real-life Harris, and the two women were dressed and styled nearly identically. Rudolph first played Harris in 2019 in a Democratic primary debate skit. “You and me both, sister,” the vice president responded. “It is nice to see you, Kamala, and I’m just here to remind you you got this because you can do something your opponent cannot do. You can open doors,” the vice president said through a set piece designed to look like a mirror.
