NEW YORK (Reuters) -Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris appeared on the "Saturday Night Live" TV comedy show on Saturday, adding a surprise jolt to the U.S. presidential election just three days before her showdown with Republican Donald Trump.
Harris portrayed herself, appearing in a mirror opposite the actor who plays her on the show, Maya Rudolph, who was nervously preparing for a campaign speech. Dressed identically in a black suit and pearls, the two traded variations on Harris' first name, saying Americans want to "end the drama-la" in politics "with a cool new stepmom-ala."
