Live from New York, it's...a lookalike contest?
Well, close. Because Vice President Kamala Harris finally came face-to-face with her Saturday Night Live doppelgänger Maya Rudolph.
During the cold open of the November 2 episode—hosted by John Mulaney with musical guest Chappell Roan—the Democratic presidential nominee joined, uh well, herself on stage for a bit of a pep talk. As Rudolph's Harris prepped for her final rally in Pennsylvania, she couldn't help but wonder if she could talk to someone “who’s been in my shoes, a Black, South Asian woman running for president, preferably from the Bay Area.”
Enter Harris, who appeared on the other side of a mirror to consult Rudolph’s version of herself.
“It’s nice to see you Kamala, and I’m just here to remind you, you’ve got this because you do something your opponent cannot do," real Harris, who is up against Republican nominee Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, said. "You can open doors."
From there, the duo—clad in matching back suits, pearls and American flag pins on their lapels—riffed on Harris' name.
“Take my palm-ala,” Rudolph said to her reflection. “The American people want to stop the chaos." As Harris added, "And end the dram-ala." To which Rudolph replied, "With a cool, new step-mamala. Kick back in our pajam-alas and watch a rom-com-ala.”
The former prosecutor's suggestion? “Legally Blond-ala.”
Because after the November 5 election, Rudolph added, it's time to "start decorating for Christmas, fa-la-la-la-la. Because what do we always say?"
In unison, they declared, “Keep calm-ala, and carry on-ala."
Stepping away from the vanity, Harris and Rudolph linked arms and faced the audience.
"I wanna tell you something," Rudolph said. "I'm gonna vote for us."
Meanwhile, Rudolph already earned Harris' vote for best impersonator. After all, when the Vice President watched Rudolph spoof her during SNL's season premiere, she couldn't help but applaud.
"Maya Rudolph—I mean, she's so good," Harris raved at the time. "She's so good. She had the whole thing—the suit, the jewelry, everything!"
To see all the stars impersonating politicians from the 2024 election, read on...
The former SNL cast member reprised her guest role of Vice President Kamala Harris on the premiere of the NBC sketch series' 50th season Sept. 28, 2024, just over a month before the U.S. Presidential election, which will see the Democratic party candidate face off against former President Donald Trump.
The actor, also a former SNL cast member who famously played former President George H.W. Bush on the show in the '80s and '90s, returned to the series for its 50th season premiere to play President Joe Biden (an impression he first debuted on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in 2021).
Fellow SNL alum joined the actress in the Cold Open sketch to play Harris' husband Doug Emhoff.
The comedian made his SNL debut on the episode as Harris' running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Johnson reprised his Trump character on the episode while Yang made his debut as the Republican leader's running mate, J.D. Vance.
