It was like looking into a mirror Saturday Night Live cold open Kamala Harris He gave himself a little pep talk ahead of Tuesday’s Election Day.

The real-life vice president did this: surprise visit He hit up NBC’s sketch comedy series on Saturday, where he took some time to talk with Maya Rudolph, who has played Harris since the 50th season began in September.

The cold open began with a parody of CNN and Chloe Fineman portraying Kaitlan Collins. He first referenced James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump at a rally, commenting on Donald Trump, his recent garbage truck demonstration, and controversial Liz Cheney remarks. Trump then called on his vice president, Bowen Yang, to say a few words to J.D. Vance.

The camera then cuts to a conversation where Rudolph’s Harris, Andy Samberg’s Doug Emhoff, Jim Gaffigan’s Tim Walz, and Dana Carvey’s Joe Biden are discussing their campaigns. But Rudolph’s Harris then asks for a moment alone to prepare for her final campaign speech.

“That’s it, last campaign stop in Pennsylvania. God, I 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 the real-life Harris is sitting on the other side, looking back at her. “It’s so nice to see you, Kamala,” the real-life Harris says. “And I’m just here to remind you, you did this because you can do something your opponent can’t. You can open doors.”

“Now, Kamala, take my palm,” Rudolph says, after delivering his iconic impression of the vice president’s smile.

That’s when they start finishing each other’s sentences: “The American people want to stop the chaos and end the drama with a cool new foster mama. Look, put on our pajamas and watch a rum-Kamala, like legally blonde-superb. And start decorating for Christmas, Fa-la-la-la-la.”

“Because what do we always say?” Rudolph asks before they all say in unison, “Protect Kamala and move on.”

“We know each other very well,” Rudolph adds. “We even ended each other’s faith in the promise of America.”
