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

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

The second episode of the season kicked off with a cold open that saw Maya Rudolph’s Kamala Harris and Andy Samberg’s Douglas Emhoff sit on their couches at home to watch the debate.

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

She breaks her glass as Jim Gaffigan’s crazy Tim Walz impersonates the real Walz by twisting the sentence, “I’ve befriended school shooters.”

Viewers took to social media to say they loved the skit and were happy to see SNL mocking the Democrat ticket.

“SNL has OFFICIALLY enlisted Kamala!! Absolutely BRUTAL!!” someone said.

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

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

“Omg SNL really made fun of them! They know she’s done so it’s okay now,” a fourth person said.

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

Biden is portrayed as bumbling 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 deferential J.D. Vance, played by Bowen Yang, and Walz were toward each other during Tuesday night’s debate, while also mocking the Democratic presidential candidate.

“I’m feeling good tonight,” said Harris of Rudolph. ‘We have 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’ legendary songs.

They moved on to the vice presidential debate with SNL’s Heidi Gardner and Chloe Fineman, played by CBS News debate moderators Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan, respectively.

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

Gaffigan’s Walz responds, “I think what happened is I went to Epcot. You can travel all over the world, and I had a few in the German section, and I thought I was going to China. Anyway, I’m an idiot.’

Back at the Harris residence, Rudolph’s Harris begins to worry about her running mate.

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

Rudolph’s Harris suggests they rewatch her presidential debate against Donald Trump. “Remember when I said his crowd was small 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 curses Gaffigan’s Walz for messing up a sentence: “I’ve become friends with school shooters,” he shouts, miming a sentence he got wrong during the debate.

In what were probably the sketch’s most memorable moments, the two VP candidates find “common ground” and are seen on screen staring into each other’s eyes.

The skit saw the two saying the exact same thing as they turned towards each other.

‘Why are they friends? Why are they vibrating?,” Rudolph’s Harris exclaims.

Gaffigan’s Walz is then allowed to speak for a few more seconds and tries to say a “Hail Mary” – referring to a football term for scoring some points before the clock runs out on the game.

“I need to get some points on the board here, so I’m going to throw 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 okay!” praises Gaffigans 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.
