“SNL is officially taking action against Kamala”: Social media goes into overdrive as the late-night show “drunkenly” DESTROYS Harris

“SNL is officially taking action against Kamala”: Social media goes into overdrive as the late-night show “drunkenly” DESTROYS Harris

“Saturday Night Live” fans have declared that the show ruined Kamala Harris with a hilarious skit that showed her drinking wine while watching the vice president debate.

The second episode of the season began with a cold open that featured Maya Rudolph’s Kamala Harris and Andy Samberg’s Douglas Emhoff watching the debate at home on the couch.

Rudolph’s Harris becomes increasingly stressed as she watches the debate and says she wishes she had chosen Josh – the wine brand for her drink of choice.

She breaks her glass when Jim Gaffigan’s goofy Tim Walz imitates the real Walz and bastardizes the line: “I made friends with school shooters.”

Viewers shared on social media that they enjoyed the skit and were happy to see SNL mocking the Democratic ticket.

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

“Finally SNL returns to non-partisan comedy love,” said another.

A third person said: “You know things are bad when the left-liberal Saturday Night Live makes fun of the Harris-Walz campaign.”

“Oh my god, SNL actually made fun of her!” “You know she’s cooked – so it’s okay now,” a fourth person said.

Others rejoiced in the moment when Dana Carvey’s Joe Biden later arrived on the scene at Harris’ home to give her some advice.

Biden is portrayed as awkward as he appears with his signature ice cream cone and general confusion.

“Opening sketch —funny!” Fox News was more flattering to President Biden!’ one person said.

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

The skit poked fun at how reverent JD Vance, played by Bowen Yang, and Walz were towards each other during Tuesday night’s debate, while also poking fun at the Democratic presidential candidate.

“I feel good tonight,” said Rudolphs Harris. “We gained momentum. Liz Cheney is about to support me and Bruce Springsteen. ‘Cause baby, I was born to run,” she jokes, quoting a line from one of The Boss’s iconic songs.

They then tuned into the vice presidential debate, with SNL’s Heidi Gardner and Chloe Fineman playing CBS News debate moderators Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan, respectively.

At the start of the mock debate, moderators Gardner’s O’Donnell and Fineman’s Brennan ask questions Gaffigan’s Walz: “Governor Walz. You claimed you were in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre while you were home in Minnesota. Can you explain that?’

Gaffigan’s Walz replies, “I think what happened is I went to Epcot.” You can travel all over the world, and I had a few in the Germany section and thought I was going to China. Whatever, I’m a moron.’

Back at the Harris residence, Rudolph’s Harris begins to worry about her vice president.

“Okay, okay, he’s out there doing his thing, whatever that may be,” says Andy Samberg’s Doug Emhoff. “Would you like to watch something less stressful like the Menendez Brothers show?” he asks.

Rudolph’s Harris suggests rewatching her presidential debate against Donald Trump. “Remember when I said his crowd was tiny and I broke his brain?”

Samberg’s Emhoff tries to calm the fears of Rudolph’s Harris. “It’s not like he’s going to say anything crazy,” he says.

But Samberg’s Emhoff jinxes Gaffigan’s waltz, which falsifies a sentence: “I made friends with school shooters,” he shouts, imitating a sentence during the debate in which he got it wrong.

In perhaps the skit’s most memorable moments, the two vice presidential candidates find “common ground” and are seen on screen staring into each other’s eyes.

During the skit, the two are seen saying the same thing at the exact same time while turning to each other.

“Why are they friends? Why are they vibrating?” shouts Rudolph’s Harris.

Gaffigan’s Walz is then allowed to speak for a few more seconds and attempts a “Hail Mary” – a reference to a football term – to score a few points before the game runs out.

“I need to get some points on the board here, so I’m going to throw in a Hail Mary.” Senator, would you admit that Donald Trump lost the election? he asks.

“Tim, I’m focused on the future,” Yang’s Vance replies, cleverly deflecting the question.

“Bump, it’s good!” praises Gaffigan’s waltz.

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

“This is a big victory.” “It made no difference,” she said.
