Saturday Night Live veteran Maya Rudolph returned to host the show this weekend and, naturally, she reprised her role as Vice President Kamala Harris.
Rudolph's Harris hosted a "unity" Passover Seder alongside a fictional version of her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff (portrayed by Martin Short). Politicians from both sides of the aisle, including Aidy Bryant's Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex), Alex Moffat's President Biden, Kenan Thompson's Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), and Cecily Strong's Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), showed up, while Chloe Fineman also made a brief appearance as Harris' stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff.
As far as SNL skits go, the atmosphere was fairly tame. That is, until Moffat's Biden brought in his dog, Major, whose training did not appear to go as smoothly as thought. Watch the full sketch below. Tim O'Donnell
