Maya Rudolph’s Best Performances as Kamala Harris on “Saturday Night Live”

Maya Rudolph and Kamala Harris have become a dynamic duo in the world of sketch comedy, with Rudolph’s uncanny portrayal of the Vice President earning her rave reviews and viral moments on “Saturday Night Live.” The internet first ignited with excitement at the prospect of Rudolph embodying Harris back in 2019, and since then, she has delivered some of her best performances on the iconic comedy show.

One standout moment was Rudolph’s portrayal of Harris during the DNC Town Hall sketch, where she captured the essence of the political figure and her memorable “That little girl was me” moment. Another highlight was the 2020 Democratic Debate sketch, where Rudolph leaned into Harris’ meme-worthy moments from her presidential campaign, showcasing her comedic prowess and attention to detail.

Even after Harris dropped out of the presidential race, Rudolph continued to shine in her role, delivering a bittersweet performance in the PBS Democratic Debate Cold Open. Her return to the SNL stage for the Vice Presidential debate sketch, complete with COVID-19 references and a hilarious Lysol moment, further solidified her status as a fan-favorite.

Most recently, Rudolph’s portrayal of Harris in the 2021 “Kamala” sketch showcased her ability to embody the Vice President with humor and grace. Hosting a Passover dinner with a star-studded cast of characters, Rudolph’s Harris stole the show once again, proving that she and Harris are indeed a match made in sketch comedy heaven.

As fans eagerly await the return of “SNL” this fall, the possibility of Rudolph reprising her role as Harris is a tantalizing prospect that promises more laughter and memorable moments to come.
