Kamala Harris to make surprise appearance on ‘SNL ‘
Vice President Kamala Harris will make a surprise appearance during this week’s episode of “Saturday Night Live,” an insider exclusively told The Post.
Harris will appear during the show’s traditional, politics-skewing cold open, the tipster said.
“It’s all been hush-hush,” the source told The Post Saturday afternoon during the final weekend before Tuesday’s presidential election, adding that the “Secret Service is here.”
Neither representatives for Harris nor “SNL” responded to a request for comment by The Post.
This week’s episode, hosted by “SNL” alum John Mulaney, will also include an appearance by former presidential candidate Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), according to the insider. Kaine is vying for a third term against Republican challenger Hung Cao.
In addition to visits from Harris and Kaine, controversial former “SNL” cast member Pete Davidson will also make an appearance on this week’s episode.
“I don’t think the Secret Service is here for him,” The Post’s source joked about Davidson.
On the final Saturday before the election, Harris made an afternoon campaign stop at Georgia’s Atlanta Civic Center before heading to a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, while her Oval Office opponent, former President Donald Trump, spoke to a crowd of about 20,000 in Gastonia, North Carolina, before heading to Milwaukee for a nighttime event.
Harris has been lampooned by former cast member Maya Rudolph in the first four election run-up episodes of the iconic, Emmy-winning sketch show’s 50th season.
Former presidential candidate, secretary of state, senator and first lady Hillary Clinton was famously sent up by ex-“SNL” cast member Amy Poehler repeatedly — and to her face — as was onetime veep candidate and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who was treated to a spot-on lampoon by Tina Fey.
Numerous politicians have popped up on the iconic NBC series over the years, including Trump, who hosted in 2015 and 2004; 44th President Barack Obama; Sen. Bernie Sanders; late Sen. John McCain running mate Palin’s one-time running mate; former secretary of state, senator and first lady Hillary Clinton; the late Congressman Bob Dole; and the late 41st U.S. President Geroge H.W. Bush, among others.
This week’s musical guest is singer Chappell Roan.
