According to reports, Vice President Kamala Harris will make a “surprise appearance” on “Saturday Night Live” tonight.
According to sources who spoke to the Associated Press and New York Post, the Democratic nominee will appear on the show’s final episode Saturday night before Tuesday’s election.
“It’s all been quiet,” a source told The New York Post on Saturday, adding that the “Secret Service is here.”
Harris has been played on the show by Maya Rudolph, who is no longer a cast member but has returned this election cycle to impersonate the Democratic candidate.

The appearance is likely a chance for Harris to promote herself, as the left-wing show has made no secret of its disdain for her opponent, former President Trump.
A Reuters correspondent reported on Saturday that Harris aides told traveling reporters that Air Force Two had been diverted in midair from Detroit to New York City, where SNL was shot down.
“They wouldn’t say what the vice president is doing late Saturday in New York City. I suspect Harris will appear on Saturday Night Live,” reporter Nandita Bose wrote.
“SNL” has a long history with Trump, who hosted the show in 2004 and again in 2015 when he was a presidential candidate. The show has parodied him mercilessly and hoped for his defeat. The cast memorably broke down after his election victory in 2016, and the show openly cheered when he lost in 2020.
The Trump campaign discredited her actions in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“Kamala Harris has nothing of substance to offer the American people, so that’s why she’s living out her twisted fantasy by cosplaying with her elitist friends on Saturday Night Leftists while her campaign fades into obscurity. Over the past four years, Kamala’s destructive policies have led to untold misery and pain for all Americans. She broke it, and President Trump will fix it,” spokesman Steven Cheung said.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign for comment.
Last month, SNL creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels suggested that neither presidential candidate would appear this season. He said he had not approached either campaign and cited the need for “equal time” for both as an obstacle.

“You can’t include the actual people running for office because of the election laws and the equal time provisions,” Michaels said. “You can’t have major candidates without having all the candidates, and there are a lot of minor candidates who are only on the ballot in three states and that becomes very complicated.”

However, he did not rule out that either of them might step down after the elections, when they would no longer be presidential candidates.
