Harris will appear in final episode before election
SNL mocks Kamala Harris' 'middle class family' interview response during 'Family Feud' skit
"Saturday Night Live" mocked VP Kamala Harris on Saturday, taking aim at the Democratic presidential candidate's responses to questions about the economy, surrounding her "middle class" roots.
Vice President Kamala Harris will make a "surprise" appearance on "Saturday Night Live" this evening, according to reports.
According to sources who spoke with the Associated Press and New York Post, the Democratic nominee will appear in the show's cold open in the final episode Saturday night before Tuesday's election.
"It’s all been hush-hush," a source told The New York Post Saturday, adding that the "Secret Service is here."
Harris has been portrayed on the show by Maya Rudolph, who is no longer a cast member but has returned to impersonate the Democratic candidate this election cycle.

The appearance is likely to be a chance for Harris to promote herself, as the left-leaning show has made no secret of its disdain for her opponent Donald Trump.
A Reuters correspondent reported Saturday that Harris aides told traveling reporters that Air Force Two had been diverted mid-air from Detroit to New York City, where SNL is shot.
"They wouldn’t share what the Vice President is doing in New York City late on a Saturday. My guess is Harris will appear on Saturday Night Live," reporter Nandita Bose wrote.
"SNL" has a long history with Trump, who hosted the show in 2004 and again in 2015, when he was a presidential candidate. The show has mercilessly parodied him and hoped for his defeat. Its cast memorably broke down over his 2016 election victory and the show openly cheered when he lost in 2020.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris and Trump campaigns for comment.
