Kamala Harris may have had to talk over a combative Fox News interviewer last week, but on “Saturday Night Live” she was seen.
Kamala Harris may have had to talk over a combative Fox News interviewer last week, but on “Saturday Night Live” she was seen.
The sketch comedy showcase continued to find inspiration in a campaign season that has seen the vice president charge into unfriendly territory on Fox News as President Donald Trump, her foe, ventured into unconventional waters by dancing at a town hall.
Harris in an interview that aired Wednesday faced Fox News anchor Bret Baier, an appearance in which both talked over each other. Baier was portrayed by “SNL” royalty Alec Baldwin, who marked his first appearance on the show since a judge dismissed the involuntary manslaughter case against him in connection with the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the movie “Rust.”
In the comedic reality of “Saturday Night Live,” Harris, portrayed by Maya Rudolph, used her time to reach out to younger voters on TikTok.
“I am not looking for a viral moment,” she told Baier before turning to her left and using a youth buzzword: demure. “See how I don’t let men interrupt my answers? Very demure. Very mindful.”
