AceShowbiz - Vice President Kamala Harris stunned audiences by appearing on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" on November 2, just three days before the critical presidential election. The episode, hosted by comedian John Mulaney, was a significant moment as Harris joined her "SNL" counterpart, Maya Rudolph, in a heartwarming and humorous "Cold Open" skit.

The "Cold Open" began with a parody of a CNN broadcast featuring Chloe Fineman as Kaitlan Collins. The camera then cut to a mock rally where James Austin Johnson's Donald Trump humorously struggled with a microphone and introduced his running mate, Bowen Yang's J.D. Vance.

The scene then transitioned to a green room filled with prominent political figures portrayed by the "SNL" cast, including Andy Samberg as Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, Jim Gaffigan as Harris' running mate Tim Walz, and Dana Carvey as President Joe Biden.

As the sketch unfolded, Maya Rudolph's Harris sought a moment alone, expressing her desire to talk to someone who has been in her shoes - specifically, "You know, a Black South Asian woman running for president, preferably from the Bay Area." This led to the grand reveal of the real Vice President Kamala Harris, who appeared on the other side of the mirror to raucous applause.

In an inspiring exchange, the real Harris reassured her fictional counterpart, saying, "You and me both, sister." She went on to emphasize Harris' unique ability to open doors that her opponents could not, referencing the symbolic gesture with Rudolph. The heartfelt dialogue evolved into a playful and rhythmic pep talk involving various wordplays on the name "Kamala."

The skit concluded with Rudolph and Harris reciting lines that resonated deeply with the audience, aiming to "end the drama-ala" and "keep Kamala and carry on-ala." This blend of humor and motivation underscored the show's ability to connect with viewers, particularly as it was filmed only a short distance from Trump Tower - a fact likely to irk Harris' reality TV-star opponent.

The episode featured additional notable moments, such as Pete Davidson's return and an appearance by Virginia Senator Tim Kaine. Musical guest Chappell Roan also delivered standout performances, adding to the night's lively atmosphere.

The surprise appearance by Harris was particularly notable for its timing, coming just days before an election, setting a precedent as other significant political figures like Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama had not appeared on "SNL" so close to such a pivotal event.
