Vice President Kamala Harris showed off her acting chops with a surprise appearance on "Saturday Night Live" during the cold open.
Maya Rudolph, who plays the Vice President, starts the sketch in a dressing room and muses, "I wish I could talk to someone who's been in my shoes. " Then she turns to a mirror, where the Vice President herself appears dressed identically.
The audience roars nearly drowned out her first line: "I feel you, sister."
After the applause finally died down, the Vice President continued. "I'm just here to remind you, you got this," VP Harris said. "Because you can do something your opponent cannot do: You can open doors."
That's a reference to Donald Trump's ridiculous staged Halloween photo op in which he was wearing an orange vest and awkwardly climbed into a garbage truck after barely being able to open the passenger-side door—because he doesn't have a driver's license.
The sketch continued with VP Harris and Rudolph beaming at each other while riffing on words that rhyme with "Kamala."
"Take my palm-ala," Rudolph said, extending her hand, which the VP took and held on to for the rest of the sketch. "The American people want to stop the chaos."
"And end the dram-ala," Vice President Harris added.
"Because what do we always say?" Rudolph asked.
"Keep calm-ala, and carry on-ala," they said in unison as the audience cheered.
“With a cool new step mommala,” Rudolph said. “Kick back in our pajamalas and watch a rom-Kamala.”
Harris and Rudolph then stood side by side, with Rudolph saying she’s going to vote for “us.”
“Any chance you are registered in Pennsylvania?” Harris said, laughing.
