Vice President Kamala Harris made an unexpected appearance on Saturday Night Live (SNL) on November 2, 2024, just days before the presidential election. This cameo was part of the show’s cold open, where Harris joined Maya Rudolph, who often impersonates her on the show. The segment aimed to energize voters, using the playful slogan “Keep calm-ala and carry-on-ala” as part of Harris's campaign messaging.

The sketch opened like a CNN segment, featuring different candidates. Soon after, Maya Rudolph as Harris stepped in, humorously wishing to speak with someone who could relate to her experience. This set the stage for the real Harris to join, appearing as her "mirror image" and surprising the audience.
In a playful exchange, Harris reassured Rudolph’s character, noting she could “open doors,” referring to a recent incident where Trump struggled with a garbage truck door during a campaign event. The audience erupted with laughter and cheers, embracing Harris’s subtle humor.
The sketch wrapped up with both women delivering SNL's classic line, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!” The live audience applauded with enthusiasm, showing strong support for Harris’s appearance.
He already did. In fact, SHE COPIED HIS SKIT. BTW, why can she do SNL, but is scared to do Joe Rogan?!? pic.twitter.com/FfnEfvtCW7
