Days before Americans head to the polls to elect their 47th president, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris used a surprise appearance on long-running comedy show Saturday Night Live as an opportunity to make fun of opponent Donald Trump.
In the show's opening skit, actress Maya Rudolph, who has for years portrayed Harris in a pitch-perfect impression, sits besides a mirror, saying: “Wow, well this is it. The last campaign stop in Pennsylvania. Gosh, I wish I could talk to someone who's been in my shoes, you know … a black South Asian woman running for president, preferably from the Bay Area.”
Rudolph, who is dressed as Harris, then turns to the mirror to reveal the Vice President, who's dressed in an identical black blazer and pearl necklace, to loud cheers from the studio audience. “You and me both, sister,” Harris says.
Then, as if speaking to her reflection, Harris adds: “I just want to remind you that you've got this. You can do something that your opponent cannot do: you can open doors,” taking a jibe at Trump struggling to open the door of a truck at an event last week.
Rudolph then lets out her imitation of Harris's laugh. “I don't really laugh like that, do I?” Harris asks, to which Rudolph replies: “Umm, a little bit.”
The pair then exchange a rhyming dialogue. “The American people want to stop the chaos,” Rudolph says, to which Harris replies: “And end the dramala.”
“Keep Calm-ala and carry on-ala,” they then say unison.
Harris is not the first presidential hopeful to appear on SNL, which first premiered in 1975.
In October 2015, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared as she was preparing for the Democratic primaries the following year. The following month, Trump, who would beat Clinton in the 2016 election, appeared in a sketch looking ahead two years into a White House term.
Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin also appeared on a 40th anniversary SNL show in 2015, at the time claiming that she would consider Trump as her vice presidential running mate.

Who was Alfred Nobel?
The Nobel Prize was created by wealthy Swedish chemist and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel.
- In his will he dictated that the bulk of his estate should be used to fund "prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind".
- Nobel is best known as the inventor of dynamite, but also wrote poetry and drama and could speak Russian, French, English and German by the age of 17. The five original prize categories reflect the interests closest to his heart.
- Nobel died in 1896 but it took until 1901, following a legal battle over his will, before the first prizes were awarded.

What is Reform?
Reform is a right-wing, populist party led by Nigel Farage, a former MEP who won a seat in the House of Commons last year at his eighth attempt and a prominent figure in the campaign for the UK to leave the European Union.
It was founded in 2018 and originally called the Brexit Party.
Many of its members previously belonged to UKIP or the mainstream Conservatives.
After Brexit took place, the party focused on the reformation of British democracy.
Former Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson became its first MP after defecting in March 2024.
The party gained support from Elon Musk, and had hoped the tech billionaire would make a £100m donation. However, Mr Musk changed his mind and called for Mr Farage to step down as leader in a row involving the US tycoon's support for far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson who is in prison for contempt of court.
