In short:
Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has appeared on Saturday Night Live.
She appeared in a sketch with actor Maya Rudolph, who has been playing her on the show.
It was Harris's first time on the show, which has had other presidential candidates over its decades-long run.
US Vice-President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has appeared on Saturday Night Live.
During a sketch at the start of the popular US comedy show, actor Maya Rudolph — who plays Harris on the show — said she wished to speak to someone else in her shoes.
It is the final episode of SNL before the US election on Tuesday, November 5.
"Gosh, I wish I could talk to someone who has been in my shoes, you know, a Black, South-Asian woman running for president, preferably from the Bay area," Rudolph said.
Kamala Harris and Maya Rudolph sit opposite one another on Saturday Night Live.
And as she sat down at a mirror, Harris appeared on the other side to a roar of applause from the audience.
"You and me both sister," Harris replied.
"I am here to remind you — you got this. You can do something your opponent cannot do, you can open doors," she continued, in reference to Donald Trump struggling to open the door of a garbage truck this week.
The Republican presidential nominee emerged from his plane in Wisconsin dressed in a fluoro orange vest before walking across the tarmac and onto a rubbish truck emblazoned with Trump campaign signage.
It was in response to President Joe Biden seemingly referred to Trump supporters as "garbage" in an attempt to criticise racist remarks about Puerto Rico.

As Rudolph laughed at Harris's joke, the vice-president asked her: "I don't really laugh like that do I?"
The pair continued to exchange words rhyming with Kamala, including "drama-la" and "step-momala", before both ending on "keep calm-ala and carry on-ala".
"We know each other so well we even finish each others belief in the promise of America," they continued in unison, while dressed in matching outfits.
After a joke about Rudolf not being registered to vote in Pennsylvania — a key state in the election — they opened the show together.
"Live from New York, it's Saturday night," the pair shouted.
Rudolph first played Harris on the show in 2019 and has reprised her role this season, doing a spot-on impression of the vice-president, including calling herself "Momala," a reference to the affectionate nickname that Harris's stepchildren call her.
Rudolph opened the show's season premiere with the line: "Well, well, well. Look who fell out of that coconut tree." And she's joked about keeping President Joe Biden in his place.
Harris's husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, has been played by former cast member Andy Samberg and Biden is played by Dana Carvey, who also famously played then-president George H.W. Bush in the early 1990s.
It was Harris's first time on the show, which has had other presidential candidates over its decades-long run.
Trump appeared during his first presidential bid in 2015, where he poked fun at his tendency to exaggerate and steer clear of policy specifics. He also appeared in 2004, long before he entered politics.
