Prior to the premiere of Saturday Night Live‘s 50th season, everyone knew that Maya Rudolph’s Kamala Harris would be back in the picture.
Rudolph first played Harris during the 2019 Democratic primary, and now that Harris is running for president, it only made sense to bring Rudolph back.
Harris’ campaign has also introduced some new figures to national politics, though that didn’t already have any SNL casting decisions attached to them. In the premiere of the show’s 50th season, we got to see who would be playing those folks through the 2024 campaign. Jim Gaffigan will be playing Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz, and Andy Samberg also returned to the show to play Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff.
Harris and Trump Rallies Cold Open - SNL The show’s first sketch also revealed that, while cast member James Austin Johnson would continue playing Trump, Bowen Yang will be playing Trump’s running mate, JD Vance. Recommended Videos Perhaps the most notable new casting, though, was Dana Carvey’s return to the show to play Joe Biden. Biden has been one of the toughest roles for SNL to crack in recent years, with Jason Sudeikis, Woody Harrelson, John Mulaney, Jim Carrey, Alex Moffat, James Austin Johnson, and Mikey Day all trying their versions of the current president.
