'SNL officially turns on Kamala': Social media goes into overdrive as late-night show DESTROYS 'drunk' Harris

2 months ago 13

Saturday Night Live fans have declared that the show has destroyed Kamala Harris with a hilarious sketch of her drinking wine as she watched the vice presidential debate.

The second episode of the season kicked off with a cold open that showed Maya Rudolph's Kamala Harris and Andy Samberg's Douglas Emhoff sitting down to watch the debate on their couch at home.

Rudolph's Harris becomes increasingly stressed as she watches the debate and drops a line that she wishes she had picked Josh - the wine brand for her drink of choice.

She breaks her glass as Jim Gaffigan's goofy Tim Walz mimics the real life Walz flubbing the line: 'I've become friends with school shooters.'

Viewers took to social media sharing that they loved the skit and were glad to see SNL making fun of the Democrat ticket.

'SNL has OFFICIALLY turned on Kamala!! Absolutely BRUTAL!!' one person said.

'Finally, SNL is going back to non-partisan comedy love this,' said another.

A third person said, 'You know things are bad when left-leaning liberal Saturday Night Live is making fun of the Harris-Walz campaign.'

'Omg SNL actually made fun of them! They know she's cooked - so it's okay now,' a fourth person said. 

Others appreciated the moment Dana Carvey's Joe Biden later arrives on scene at Harris' house to give her some advice.

Biden is portrayed as bumbling as he appears with his signature ice cream cone and general all-round confusion. 

'Opening sketch ---funny! Fox News has been more flattering to President Biden!' said one person.

'Wow, you know the left is in trouble when SNL actually does comedy,' another said.  

The skit mocked how reverential JD Vance, played by Bowen Yang, and Walz were to one another during Tuesday night's debate, while also poking fun at the Democrat presidential nominee.

'I am feeling good tonight,' Rudolph's Harris says. 'We have got momentum. Liz Cheney's about to endorse me and Bruce Springsteen. Cause baby I was born to run,' she jokes, while quoting a line from one of The Boss' legendary songs.

They proceeded to turn on the vice presidential debate with SNL's Heidi Gardner and Chloe Fineman played CBS News debate moderators Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan respectively.

As the questions in the mock debate begin, the moderators Gardner's O'Donnell and Fineman's Brennan ask Gaffigan's Walz: 'Governor Walz. You claimed you were in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre when you were home in Minnesota. Can you explain that?'

Gaffigan's Walz answers: 'I think what happened is I went to Epcot. You can go around the whole world, and I had a couple in the Germany section, and I thought I went to China. Anyway, I'm a knucklehead.'

Back at the Harris residence, Rudolph's Harris begins to show concern for her running mate.

'OK, OK he's out there he's doing his thing, whatever that may be.' Andy Samberg's Doug Emhoff says. 'Do you wanna watch something less stressful like the Menendez Brothers show?' he asks.

Rudolph's Harris suggests they re-watch her Presidential debate against Donald Trump. 'Remember when I said his crowds were tiny and I broke his brain?'

Samberg's Emhoff tries to calm Rudolph's Harris' fears. 'It's not like he's gonna say something crazy,' he says.

But Samberg's Emhoff jinxes Gaffigan's Walz who flubs a line: 'I've become friends with school shooters,' he yells, mimicking a line during the debate in which he misspoke.

In what was likely the most memorable moments of the sketch, the pair of VP candidates find 'common ground' and can be seen on screen staring into each other's eyes.

During the skit, the two seen saying the same thing at the exact same time as they turn to one another.

'Why are they friends? Why are they vibing?,' Rudolph's Harris exclaims.

Gaffigan's Walz is then allowed a few more seconds speak and attempts a 'hail Mary' - referencing a football term to score some points before the clock runs out on the game.

'I got to get some points on the board here, so I'm going to chuck a hail Mary. Senator, will you admit that Donald Trump lost the election?' he asks.

'Tim, I'm focused on the future,' Yang's Vance responds, deftly deflecting the question.

'Bump, it's good!' praises Gaffigan's Walz.

Back at the Harris household, Rudolph's Harris expresses relief that Walz made it through the debate.

'This is a huge victory. It made no difference,' she said.
