The vice president joined Maya Rudolph during the sketch comedy show's cold open. Comedian John Mulaney is also hosting for the sixth time, alongside musical guest Chappell Roan.
It was like looking in the mirror during the Saturday Night Live cold open as Kamala Harris gave herself a little pep talk ahead of Election Day on Tuesday.
The real-life vice president made a surprise visit to NBC’s sketch comedy series on Saturday, where she got to take a moment to talk with Maya Rudolph, who has been playing Harris since season 50 kicked off in September.
The cold open kicked off with a CNN parody and Chloe Fineman portraying Kaitlan Collins. She first tossed to James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump at a rally, where he commented on his recent garbage truck stunt and controversial Liz Cheney remarks. Trump then brought out his running mate, Bowen Yang’s J.D. Vance to say a few words.
The camera then cuts to a conversation between Rudolph’s Harris, Andy Samberg’s Doug Emhoff, Jim Gaffigan’s Tim Walz and Dana Carvey’s Joe Biden as they discuss their campaign. But Rudolph’s Harris later asks for a moment alone to prepare for her last campaign speech.
“Well, this is it, the last campaign stop in Pennsylvania. Gosh, I just wish I could talk to someone who’s been in my shoes,” she says. “You know, a Black South Asian woman running for president, preferably from the Bay Area.”
That’s when she turns to look in the mirror and real-life Harris is sitting on the other side, looking back at her. “It is nice to see you Kamala,” the real-life Harris says. “And I’m just here to remind you, you got this because you can do something your opponent cannot do. You can open doors.”
After Rudolph breaks out in her iconic impression of the vice president’s laugh, she says, “Now Kamala, take my palm-ala.”
That’s when they each start to finish each other’s sentences: “The American people want to stop the chaos and end the drama-ala with a cool new step-mamala. Look, get back in our pajamas and watch a rom-Kamala, like Legally Blonde-ala. And start decorating for Christmas, Fa-la-la-la-la.”
“Because what do we always say?” Rudolph asks before they say in unison, “Keep Kamala and carry on-ala.”
“We know each other so well,” Rudolph adds. “We even finished each other’s belief in the promise of America.”
John Mulaney returned to Studio 8H to host the sketch comedy show for the sixth time on Saturday, alongside musical guest Chappell Roan.
The comedian’s monologue included jokes about being a new father, his relationship with actress and wife Olivia Munn, his 2020 stay in a rehab facility and the current state of his health at 42 years old.
Other special guests who made appearances throughout the show included Pete Davidson and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 running mate Tim Kaine of Virginia.
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, whose the dumbest of them all?
I think I’m gonna be sick-ala
All in all, it was pretty lame - never mind the fact that they stole the concept from Jimmy Fallon when he did something similar with Trump. But in that case, it was actually funny.
I think this was as cringy as that one she did with the SNL Catholic girl for the Catholic charity event she skipped but sent in the weird unfunny video. This was not funny at all. It was kind of sickening 🤮
Me, too-ala ala ala.
What a massive shit-show-ala. This juvenile crap is what passes for a campaign for POTUS? We are doomed if she wins.
I’m baffled at how SNL thinks that whole Kamala-mamala stuff is funny. That’s the sort of joke that you normally try once, get a smattering of polite chuckles and never use again. But since they can’t actually roast her like they do with Republican politicians that’s all they’re left with.
Who?
“Keep Kamala and carry on-ala.”
Oh yeah
The new boss same as the old boss...
Vladimer Putin is impressed
I remember the SNL show that had a walk-in from John McCain the Saturday before the 2008 election...I anticipate a similar result.
My gorge rises at it” is an idiom that means you feel sick, disgusted, or angry:
“My gorge rises when I hear, “We even finish each other’s belief in America” from dirty, lying communists
“A disgusting odor that made my gorge rise”.
The word “gorge” comes from falconry, where it was an obsolete term for “a meal for a hawk”.
It later came to refer to the contents of the stomach. The Latin root of “gorge” means “throat”. The French word gorg
100% it took them hours to get this right
I don’t think they think it’s funny. They are just supporting the home team.
Let’s be honest. No bullsh!t. SNL is run 100% by lefties who are on the side of Kamala and any other Dem they encounter. Bearing that in mind, nothing they do regarding any politician should ever come as a surprise. They’re enemy propagandists at best.
That’s probably true.
Finally they're roasting Joe Biden.
True, but that’s because he’s no longer running.
I’ve lived in NYC. I have leftie (FAR-leftie) relatives who live nearby. I’ll be blunt. It comes from the greater NYC area, you can treat it as Marxist propaganda until proven otherwise. The people there who get to decide what gets broadcast are on a definitive political side.
