Live From New York, It's Kamala Harris on ‘SNL'

Heading into a new 'Saturday Night Live' hosted by the frequent guest, viewers were prepared for surprises. And they surely got one: a cameo appearance from a Virginia senator.

And — oh yes — a visit from the Vice President, the Democratic presidential nominee, who played herself in the show's opening sketch, alongside a frequent impersonator of the Vice President on 'S.N.L.'

In the sketch, the impersonator played the Vice President preparing for a rally in Philadelphia, speaking into a mirror. She wished to talk to someone who's been in her shoes — a Black, South Asian woman running for president. The real-life Vice President appeared as the impersonator's reflection and offered words of inspiration, emphasizing her ability to open doors, a quality her opponent cannot replicate.

'S.N.L.' has a tradition of featuring presidential candidates on the show, occasionally just days before the conclusion of the presidential election.
