Kamala Harris appears on SNL cold open as mirrored version of Maya Rudolph

SUMMARY

Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise cameo in the "Saturday Night Live" cold open, appearing as a mirrored version of comedian Maya Rudolph, who has famously portrayed her on the show. Following a day of campaigning, Harris appeared alongside Rudolph, who offered encouragement in the final stretch of the presidential race. Harris referenced a viral clip where former President Donald Trump appeared to struggle opening a garbage truck door, a moment she used to jab Trump following President Joe Biden’s controversial comment about Trump supporters being “garbage.” In the skit, Harris humorously critiqued her own laugh, asking, “I don’t really laugh like that, do I?” The sketch closed with a nod to Pennsylvania’s critical role in the election, with Rudolph’s character saying, “I’m going to vote for us,” and Harris responding, “Any chance you’re registered to vote in Pennsylvania?”
