Democratic presidential candidate in the United States Terrible Harris unexpectedly flew from his campaign tour to New York and appeared on Saturday night’s Saturday Night Live comedy show just three days before the presidential election.
Harris opened the show with a skit in which the presidential candidate portrayed himself as a comedian-actor Maya Rudolph playing Harris as her mirror image.
The two, gesturing identically, mused aloud that they wanted to talk to someone who knows what it’s like to be in the presidential candidate’s shoes.
The popular comedy show has previously featured presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain in 2008.
Also the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump appeared in the program in 2015. In addition, he also appeared in the program in 2004, i.e. years before he entered politics.
