U.S. Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is set to make an appearance on the iconic sketch comedy show, “Saturday Night Live.” This move is part of a strategy to garner support and generate publicity for her campaign in the lead-up to the election. Maya Rudolph, a former cast member, has been portraying Harris on the show’s current season.
Harris’ campaign schedule reveals that she will be flying from Charlotte, N.C. to New York City on Saturday evening, arriving at 7:21 p.m. This timing allows her enough time to make it to Studio 8H in NBC’s Rockefeller Center headquarters, where “SNL” is filmed, before the show’s usual 11:30 p.m. start time. Harris is expected to stay in New York City until 12:40 a.m.
While a representative for “Saturday Night Live” has not confirmed Harris’ appearance, reports from CNN and The New York Post suggest that she will indeed be making a cameo. Over the years, several political figures have appeared on the show during election seasons, including President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Jon Huntsman, Sarah Palin, and former President Donald Trump.
Harris’ upcoming appearance on “SNL” is strategically timed, with just two days left before the start of in-person voting. This makes her cameo one of the closest to Election Day in the show’s history. As the anticipation builds for Harris’ appearance on the show, viewers can expect an entertaining and possibly satirical take on the Vice President’s campaign.
Stay tuned for more updates on Harris’ appearance on “Saturday Night Live” and the impact it may have on her presidential campaign.
