Just days before the November 5 U.S. presidential election – when the fate of America would rest on the power of our ballots and possibly the strength of our memes – Kamala Harris decided to let loose in the most iconic way: by turning up on Saturday Night Live to show off her comedic chops.
Yes, after a grueling campaign filled with debates, rallies, and enough Zoom calls to make a WiFi router weep, Kamala sashayed into Studio 8H on November 2 to give us a taste of her humor. Teaming up with Maya Rudolph – who’s been impersonating her all season long like she was born to do it – Kamala joined the comedy queen to drop some serious laughs…and a few lighthearted jabs at her political rival, the one and only Donald Trump.
The highlight? Kamala didn’t just laugh – she put her famous laugh on display, full force, and leaned into every snicker, chuckle, and chortle with the kind of confidence that says, “Yes, I know my laugh has become legendary, and I’m here to embrace it.” She even dropped a promise: if elected, she’d put an end to what she hilariously called the “drama-la,” a pledge that had audiences rolling and probably had some drama queens across the land feeling a bit nervous.
So, live from New York – with the potential future Vice President on deck – it was Kamala doing her thing, adding some last-minute laughs to the campaign countdown.
