When Vice President Kamala Harris popped up on SNL just three days before the election, you can imagine the internet's reaction! Spoiler alert: it got wild!
In a surprise appearance that caught many off guard, Vice President Kamala Harris graced the stage of "Saturday Night Live" this past weekend, just three days before voters head to the polls in the 2024 presidential election. Hosted by comedian John Mulaney, the episode was packed with laughs, whimsy, and a healthy dose of election spirit, featuring musical performances from rising star Chappell Roan. Harris, in typical fashion, brought her light-hearted yet gritty campaign energy, urging viewers to 'keep Calm-ala and Carry On-ala' as she navigates her final days of campaigning.
However, not everyone was pleased with Harris's comedic cameo. A wave of backlash ensued as sharp-eyed Trump supporters pointed out that the Vice President's skit bore a striking resemblance to one performed by Donald Trump back in 2015 alongside Jimmy Fallon. Critics accused Harris of lacking originality and resorting to playbook tricks instead of innovating new material. As memes flooded social media highlighting her supposed plagiarism, it became evident that Harris had stirred the pot and sparked a delightful debate among comedy and politics lovers alike.
To add to the excitement, Harris shared the spotlight with comedic legend Maya Rudolph, who has previously portrayed her on the sketch comedy show. This delightful interplay had viewers roaring with laughter, especially as Mulaney added his trademark wit to the mix, reflecting on the absurdities of family life and politics. The episode showcased not just a comedic reprieve before the voting frenzy but also highlighted the strong connection between comedy and politics as an essential platform for outreach, and one that Harris seems to leverage cheekily.
As the election draws nearer, the spotlight on Harris is more prominent than ever, and her SNL appearance has certainly made waves. Not only is the Vice President using humor to connect with voters, she’s doing it in a way that keeps the political conversation buzzing. Fun fact: SNL is no stranger to featuring politicians trying their luck at comedy—past guests include Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and of course, Donald Trump, who brought a different flair to the show long before he became a candidate! With the election looming, you can bet the aftershocks of this comedy and political crossover will ripple across social media long after the credits roll.
