Does anyone else get the feeling that comedy goddess Maya Rudolph's been getting a ton of attention from NBC's Saturday Night Live EP Lorne Michaels since the big news broke earlier today? Of course, we're talking about the news that President Joe Biden stepping down as the Democrats' nominee for the 2024 POTUS race, endorsing Vice-President Kamala Harris to take the top spot – and VP Harris making it clear that she's in it to win it. While SNL could definitely look for someone new to take on the role, social media already has a very high expectation that Rudolph will be the one – and with this being the milestone 50th season, there's even more reason to have Rudolph in the spotlight. With that in mind, we're offering a look back at some of Rudolph's best runs as Harris – both as a senator/candidate and Vice-President of the United States. As for what VP Harris thinks about all of it, she addressed that very topic with Seth Meyers back in October 2019 when she stopped by his NBC late-night talk show.

Though we get an appearance from Alec Baldwin's Donald Trump, it's Rudolph who steals the show one more time: "Look, when [Trump] gets to the Senate Judiciary Committee, he's going to wish he'd never heard my name. It's pronounced 'Kamala.' It rhymes with 'Pamela.' It ain't Camilla Cabello, it's just Kamala."

 

 

 

During Season 46 (October 3, 2020), Chris Wallace (Beck Bennett) moderates the first presidential debate between Donald Trump (Baldwin) and Joe Biden (Jim Carrey).

 

Here's a look at the intro video for Carrey's Joe Biden and Rudolph's Harris ahead of their SNL appearance on October 3, 2020 (with host Chris Rock and musical guest Megan Thee Stallion). Following that, we have an intro for Rudolph heading into the October 10, 2020, SNL show (with host Bill Burr and musical guest Morgan Wallen).
