Kamala Harris Makes Surprise Appearance On SNL

The New York Times reports:

The vice president gazed into the mirror, reached out her hand and told her comedic reflection that she had this election thing in the bag. “I’m just here to remind you — you got this,” the actual vice president said to Maya Rudolph, the comedian who has portrayed Kamala Harris for years on “Saturday Night Live.”

Ms. Harris’s appearance, which came later in the opening sketch and was delivered across a fictional dressing-room mirror from Ms. Rudolph, contained a solid riff that poked some fun at Mr. Trump. Her segment was also rife with puns designed to assist in the pronunciation of the vice president’s first name: mamala, palmala, rom-comala, pajamala … the list goes on and onala.

When Ms. Harris first appeared behind the mirror, the audience clapped and screamed. She had been introduced by Ms. Rudolph, who was wishing she could speak to someone “who’s been in my shoes — a Black, South Asian woman running for president, preferably from the Bay Area.”
