Maya Rudolph, who previously played Vice President Kamala Harris on the show, had been announced as an SNL pick to play her this season.

“Well, well,” she said. “Look who fell. that Coconut Tree,” quoting Harris’ favorite story about her mother.
Some initially expected Steve Martin to play her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, but Martin insisted and comedian Jim Gaffigan was cast.
Invoking his characteristic Midwestern enthusiasm, Waltz gushed, “Guys, I haven’t been this excited since I got a 10 percent rebate on a Menards leaf blower!” He also said he said “yes” when Harris tapped him because, as a former teacher, he “needed the money.”
It stars James Austin Johnson as former President Trump and Bowen Yang as vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance, leaving room for two big surprises — former “SNL” star Dana Carvey will play President Biden, and Andy Samberg will play Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff.
Samberg, who plays Emhoff, who is Jewish, said that if Harris wins, she is looking forward to decorating the White House for Christmas, which is the first lady’s normal duty, adding, “The theme will be Hanukkah.” .
