Harris looks for laughs, and votes, in 'end the drama-la' skit
The Guardian
|November 04, 2024
I don't really laugh like that, do I?"Uhhhhh, a little bit."Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, broke from the campaign trail to embrace her reputation as a "joyful warrior" with a surprise appearance on the TV variety show Saturday Night Live.
Harris portrayed herself, appearing in a mirror opposite the actor Maya Rudolph, who first played her on the show in 2019 and has reprised the role this season.
Dressed identically in a black suit and pearls, the two traded variations on Harris's first name, saying Americans want to "end the drama-la" in politics "with a cool new stepmom-ala".
Filmed in New York and celebrating its 50th season, Saturday Night Live has become a favourite venue for politicians to show voters they can prick their own pomposity and laugh at themselves. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have all appeared on past episodes.
This week's "cold open" featured Rudolph as Harris preparing to deliver a speech in Philadelphia and conversing with running mate Tim Walz (Jim Gaffigan), Joe Biden (Dana Carvey) and husband Doug Emhoff (Andy Samberg).
