Maya Rudolph Nails Her Return to SNL as Kamala Harris — Down to the Converse Sneakers

04/10/2020 - 08:46 PM

Maya Rudolph is stepping into Sen. Kamala Harris's shoes once again [1] for Saturday Night Live [2]. Maya, a former SNL cast member, made her return to 30 Rockefeller Plaza on Oct. 3 to reprise her role as the Democratic vice presidential nominee [3]. Naturally, she dressed the part.

In real life, Kamala has quite the sneaker collection [4] going on and she frequently slips into some Converse for campaign events. Maya channelled that casual and practical energy into her cold open cameo with Jim Carrey [5] and Alec Baldwin [6], proving she's laced up and ready to win while delivering iconic lines like, "America needs a WAP — A Woman As President. But I'll settle for HVPIC — Hot Vice President in charge." You tell 'em Kamala, er, we mean, Maya! Check out the skit, and the low-top sneaker moment below.
