Kamala Harris made a not-so-surprise appearance on “Saturday Night Live” three days before Election Day, appearing on the other side of a false mirror from her on-air alter ego Maya Rudolph.

The vice president had been rumored to appear on the show, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary on air, and showed up toward the end of the episode’s cold open when Rudolph briefly paused to take in the enormity of the moment.

“Wow, this is it, the last campaign stop in Pennsylvania,” Rudolph said. “I wish I could talk to someone who’s been in my shoes. You know, a Black South Asian woman running for president, preferably from the Bay Area.”

She then sat down at her makeup table and peered into what should have been a mirror, but instead Harris herself sat on the other side smiling as the audience began cheering and Rudolph briefly seemed to fight back tears.

“You and me both, sista,” Harris said, nearly 30 seconds after the cheers began. “I’m just here to remind you, you’ve got this, because you can do something your opponent cannot do – you can open doors.”

“I see what you did there,” Rudolph replied. “Like to a garbage truck.”

Harris cracked up and then caught herself.

“I don’t really laugh like that, do I?” Harris said, and Rudolph reluctantly conceded that she did.

The two then riffed on rhymes on Harris’ first name.

“Kamala, take my palm-ala,” Rudolph said. “The American people want to stop the chaos.”

“And end the drama-la,” Harris chimed in.

“With a cool new stepmom-ala,” Rudolph added. “Get back in our pajama-las and watch a rom-com-ala.”

“Like ‘Legally Blonde-ala,'” Harris said.
