Just days before the 2024 presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris surprised Saturday Night Live<\/i> audiences by appearing in the show\u2019s cold open alongside her longtime impersonator, Maya Rudolph. In a sketch that played up Harris\u2019s catchphrase, the two declared, \u201cKeep calm-ala and carry-on-ala,\u201d urging viewers to stay focused during the final stretch of the election.<\/p>\n

The skit began with a fictional CNN segment showcasing last-minute campaign rallies, including a comical meltdown by Donald Trump, portrayed by James Austin Johnson. The scene then switched to Rudolph\u2019s version of Harris, joined by Jim Gaffigan as Harris\u2019s running mate, Tim Walz, and Andy Samberg as Harris\u2019s husband, Doug Emhoff. As the sketch progressed, Rudolph\u2019s Harris had a comical heart-to-heart moment with herself \u2014 only to be joined by the real Kamala Harris, dressed in identical attire. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to see you again, Kamala,\u201d the real Harris quipped. \u201cI\u2019m just here to remind you, you got this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two Kamalas then broke into a funny pep talk, riffing on topics like staying calm, rewatching Legally Blonde<\/i>, and getting ready for the holidays. Their sing-songy banter ended with the titular rallying cry, \u201cLive from New York, it\u2019s Saturday Night!\u201d<\/p>\n

Harris has previously praised Rudolph\u2019s spot-on impersonation, acknowledging her skill in capturing the VP\u2019s style and mannerisms. Harris\u2019s unexpected appearance also comes after SNL<\/i> producer Lorne Michaels had suggested that real candidates might not appear this season due to election rules.<\/p>\n

Hosted by former SNL<\/i> writer John Mulaney, the night\u2019s episode featured singer Chappell Roan as the musical guest. Harris\u2019s cameo marks a historic campaign moment on the show, as she joins a legacy of presidential candidates using SNL<\/i> to connect with voters in a lighter setting.<\/p>\n
