Kamala Harris makes surprise cameo on Saturday Night Live alongside Maya Rudolph

Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on "Saturday Night Live" during the show's cold open, joining Maya Rudolph, who impersonated her. The skit featured humorous exchanges and puns about Harris's name, emphasizing their connection. This cameo contrasts with earlier statements from SNL's executive producer, Lorne Michaels, who had said that main presidential candidates would not appear on the show due to election laws. The unexpected visit has sparked discussions about the interpretation of these laws. The episode also included appearances by Jim Gaffigan, Dana Carvey, and Andy Samberg, highlighting SNL's long history of featuring political figures. Previous notable cameos include Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, who have participated in similar comedic sketches.
