When it comes to legendary impersonations on “Saturday Night Live,” winner Maya Rudolph returns to “SNL,” as Kamala Harris is on many “best of” lists. Though she left the show in 2007, Rudolph debuted her SNL character during the 2020 election season impeachment town hall sketch , when she called herself “America’s great aunt.” Interesting aunt. I call him ‘The Kid.’”
“The kind of joke that gives you marijuana, but then arrests you for marijuana possession,” he said of the 2019 plan, pointing to Harris’ record as an aggressive prosecutor. “Can I win the presidency?” Maybe not. I don’t know. Can I successfully seduce a younger man? You better believe it.”
Rudolph returns as Harris after a month away . This time he tried to create viral memes, even in a world before coconut oil.
Seen in December 2019, Rudolph Returns opened as part of the PBS Democratic debate only after Harris herself dropped out of the race. Rudolph referenced Lizzo’s “The Truth Hurts” when she said, “I just wanna show you how good you’ve been, America. You’ve been saving up your donations and I’m tired of waiting so I kicked my good ass out the door.” Rudolph then sang the words, “You could have been miserable.”
Rudolph won an Emmy for her performance in the same sketch, where the rap begins just 7 minutes into the clip. “Look, when [Trump] comes to the Senate Judiciary Committee, I wish I never heard my name,” she said. “It’s pronounced ‘Kamala.’ It rhymes with ‘Pamela.’ It’s not Camilla Cabello, it’s just Kamala.”
Rudolph- as -Harris returned as Harris after the former rival was announced as Joe Biden’s running mate. In the first cold debate since 2021, Rudolph-as-Harris chided Chris Wallace for not moderating the debate as he wanted. “You know, look, I think if there’s one thing we learned tonight, it’s that America needs a WAP: a woman president.”
