SNL Accused Of Copying Trump’s 2015 Skit For Kamala Harris’ Appearance

Social media users are accusing Saturday Night Live of ripping off a skit that Trump did on the Jimmy Fallon show in 2015 for Kamala Harris’ surprise appearance.

In the skit, Maya Rudolph, who played Kamala Harris, sat in her dressing room, looked into the mirror, and said, “I wish I could talk to someone in my shoes.”

As Rudoplh uttered the words, Kamala Harris appeared and said, “You and me both, sister!”

Users on social media quickly noticed the scene was very similar to Trump’s appearance on Jimmy Fallon, where he too looked into the mirror to see Fallon, who was dressed up as Trump.

“Saturday Night Live” is accused of ripping off a skit that former President Donald Trump did with Jimmy Fallon on the “Tonight Show” in 2015, using the same concept for Kamala Harris’ surprise appearance.

Harris made a last-second appearance on the late-night show on Nov. 2, when she gave her fictional self — portrayed by Maya Rudolph — advice before the presidential election.

In the cold open, Rudolph’s Harris shooed away Andy Samberg, playing second gentleman Doug Emhoff, Jim Gaffigan as running mate Tim Walz and Dana Carvey’s President Joe Biden, from her dressing room in Philadelphia after discussing their campaign.

Rudolph sat down on a chair next to her dressing room mirror and wished somebody could give her advice for the final days of the campaign.

“I wish I could talk to someone in my shoes,” Rudolph said to herself in an empty room.

The real Harris suddenly appeared on the other side of the dressing room mirror and exclaimed, “You and me both sister!”

The pair poked fun at Harris’ screechy laugh and the “dramala” of politics before the Democratic nominee for president asked her impersonator “any chance you’re registered in Pennsylvania?” — a vital swing state where Trump is slightly in the lead, according to a new Quinnipiac survey.

The pair signed off with the iconic “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!”

Viewers noticed the concept and set looked strikingly familiar to Donald Trump’s sketch on Jimmy Fallon’s “The Tonight Show” show spot from when he was running for president on Sept. 12, 2015.

Jimmy Fallon, a former “Saturday Night Live” member, portrayed Trump during the airing of his late-night talk show.

He sat down at what looked like nearly the exact dressing room mirror, saying “Wow, I look fantastic” when Trump – just like Kamala – appeared on the other side of the mirror.

“No, we look fantastic and I mean really fantastic,” Trump said.

The two Trumps discussed preparing for the then-second Republican Primary Debate, creating jobs, immigration, taxes, his potential vice president pick and him being “really rich.”

Per the Independent:

Donald Trump supporters are livid after noticing that Kamala Harris’s new appearance on Saturday Night Live was very similar to a skit he did in 2015 with Jimmy Fallon.

The Democrat nominee and current vice president made a surprise appearance on the popular sketch show, making a cameo in the cold open just days before Americans go to the polls on 5 November.

The episode was hosted by John Mulaney and musical guest Chappell Roan.

Harris starred opposite Maya Rudolph’s version of her as the actor looked into a mirror and said she wished she could “talk to someone who has been in my shoes”.
