Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris can’t handle VP candidates ‘vibing’ during spoof debate on ‘SNL’
Chevy was just telling me that you actually spent some time in Ira up there on the place and up in Auburn about uh 1964 I was picking fruit up there and doing some construction work. That was before you got into the writing in those days after I was very successful. Now, this one, I was just, I was just trying to stay alive. Iii I got *** car and drove out for the summer. It was just *** summer thing to see what the country was like and, and uh got out there and they put me on second pickings and it was, it was rough. It was the big time, the second picking. I mean, I'm sure you needed that money to put gas in the actual car traveling in. Yeah. Anyway, Dan, it seems like the Saturday Night Live gang always seems to, uh, stay together some way, especially in your motion picture. You've had Bill Murray, you have Chevy and now you've got, you know, Eddie Murphy and you know, and John Belushi and he was right. I mean, you guys just, and I'm doing one with Steve Martin and Martin Short coming up. So you guys are, what? You're gonna stay together as *** team? Hey, are you guys, you know what I was thinking of? Are you guys gonna be Bob Hope and Bing Crosby again? Well, Donna Dixon's Dorothy Lamour, we sort of thought about it. Made this picture. I'm glad you, I'm glad you understood the reference there. Uh I think what we're trying to do is, is, you know, in that fun spirit that those movies, uh, were, we're trying to sort of replicate that in *** way and, uh, road pictures and bring it back, you know, and, uh, it doesn't hurt to have that element in there that they were *** lot of fun. I think when I talked to you before you said you really enjoyed live TV, more than movies. How about you? You, I feel that way if I were you, I'd go see Saturday night and not see this movie. No, I, I don't think anything they're so different but I don't think anything beats, uh, doing *** live television comes down. It's unbelievable. It's adrenaline. It's basically adrenaline. You talk to, uh, soldiers who've been in battle and they say there's nothing like that. It may be horrible and everything. It's, there's nothing like that. Adrenaline cops on the street in *** big city when they're, you know, chasing *** criminal that adrenaline live TV, you get on and the cameras go and you've got, you know, you're on that, we've been there. We, we, we felt that when we got together to do this picture, we, that stayed with us that experience. Hey, Chevy, didn't you, uh, injure yourself several times? Uh Doing these pratt falls used to do for Saturday night live. The time I really injured myself was when Danny was playing Carter and I was playing for, and we were doing *** debate and at the end of the debate, I had *** podium in front of me. I wanted to fall just straight forward and down with the podium without moving my body at all. Just, just this and the podium had not been padded on my side. And I, uh, was having, uh, I was, uh, bleeding later on in the bathroom and wondering what that, what that was. And, uh, I went to the hospital, I, I had done some injury but this is what we do for our craft in our industry. I mean, you know, we hurt ourselves.

As Kamala Harris, Rudolph was joined by Andy Samberg as Harris' husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, to kick off the skit. The pair got cozy at home, poured a glass of wine and tuned in while Jim Gaffigan, who returned to play Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and "SNL" cast member Bowen Yang as Ohio Sen. JD Vance went head-to-head on various topics.
At one point, both VP candidates evaded answering questions, sparking Rudolph as Harris to laugh nervously and say about Gaffigan as Walz, "Ok, ok. He's out there, he's doing his thing, whatever that may be…"
When Yang as Vance replied to the next question from fellow cast member Heidi Gardner – playing CBS anchor and debate moderator Norah O'Donnell – with what sounded like a prepared response, this impressed Gaffigan as Walz, who went on to say, "This guys good, he's got an answer for everything." Yang as Vance appeared touched, appreciating the compliment.
Playing into what amounted to a civil VP debate between the two real-life candidates, the two impersonators later agreed on other topics and eventually said, in unison, "That's an area where we have a lot of common ground."
"Take My Breath Away" by Berlin then played as both candidates held a hand up to each other and had a hilarious moment of connection across the split screen.
Watching at home, Rudolph as Harris spat out her wine, horrified, and asked, "Why are they friends? Why are they vibing?!"
Then "SNL" alum Dana Carvey as President Joe Biden reappeared after last week to crash their viewing party, and got his ice cream all over himself and Rudolph as Harris when he told her, "You're going to make a great president."
