Vice President Kamala Harris appears on Saturday Night Live alongside actor Maya Rudolph

Vice President Kamala Harris has appeared on NBC’s hit show Saturday Night Live, appearing alongside actor Maya Rudolph, who impersonates Ms Harris on the show.

The episode started with a news anchor reporting on the election stating that Ms Harris was backstage in Pennsylvania about to take to the stage at a rally and that Mr Trump was still talking at a rally he started hours ago.

The program cut to James Austin Johnson impersonating Mr Trump who said he was tired and struggling with the microphone, referencing Mr Trump’s now-viral Milwaukee, Wisconsin microphone fail.

Rudolph then appeared in a scene set in a green room of a Pennsylvania rally where she said she wished she could speak to someone like her.

“Gosh I wish I could talk to someone who has been in my shoes,” Rudolph said.

“A Black South Asian woman running for president, preferably from the Bay Area.”

Rudolph sat in front of a mirror, and with a camera angle changed, the real Ms Harris was revealed sitting opposite.

“You and me both sister,” Ms Harris replied.

“It’s nice to see you Kamala,” Rudolph said.

“It’s nice to see you Kamala,” Ms Harris replied.

“I’m just here to remind you of something, you’ve got this. Because you can do something your opponent can’t do. You can open doors.”

“I see what you did, like to a garbage truck,” Rudolph said laughing.

“I don’t really laugh like that do I?” Ms Harris asked.

“Ahh, a little bit,” Rudolph replied.

Ms Harris and Rudolph entered into a volley of comments, rhyming things with Kamala.

“The American people want to stop the chaos,” Rudolph said.

“And stop the ‘dramala’,” Ms Harris said.

“With a new ‘step-mamala’,” Rudolph riffed.

“Get back in my ‘pajamalas... and watch a rom-comala.”

“Like Legally Blonde-ala” Ms Harris said, keeping up with the comedian.

“Because what do we always say? Keep Kamala and carry on-a-la,” the two said together.

“We know each other so well, we even finish each other’s,” Rudolph started before in unison the pair said: “Belief in the promise of America.”

Rudolph brought Ms Harris into the middle of the room and stood next to the vice president.

“Let me tell you something, I’m going to vote for us,” Rudolph said.

“Great, any chance you are registered in Pennsylvania?” Ms Harris asked jokingly.

The move is just another feather in Ms Harris’ cap of major pop culture moments and celebrity endorsements she has used as part of her campaign.

Ms Harris posted the skit to her social media minutes afterwards.
