Like the true interview, Maya Rudolph’s model of the VP verbally sparred with Alec Baldwin’s Baier as he dropped a collection of gotcha questions for the Democratic presidential nominee.
“When I interviewed President Trump, my first question was, ‘What do you think is the most important issue facing our nation?’” Baldwin requested. “So my first question for you is, ‘Give me the exact number of murderers you let loose in this country.’”
Whereas Baldwin’s Baier barely let Rudolph’s Harris get a phrase in edgewise, she was fast to remind him of her report on crime.
“I brought down the Sinaloa cartel. I brought down the Guadalajara cartel,” Rudolph stated. “If I was in ‘Breaking Bad,’ it would have ended in three episodes.”
When Baldwin accused Rudolph of solely being on the present for a soundbite, she clapped again.
“Oh, please, I am not looking for a viral moment,” Rudolph’s Harris replied earlier than turning to the digital camera and borrowing a line plucked straight from a preferred meme.
“See how I don’t let a man interrupt my answers,” she stated, flipping her hair. “Very demure, very mindful.”
Much like the precise interview, the sketch performed the improper clip after Harris criticized Donald Trump for referring to his political opponents as “the enemy within.” (The true Baier later apologized for rolling the improper footage throughout the interview.)
The sketch additionally mocked the Republican presidential nominee’s weird musical detour at a Pennsylvania city corridor final weekend, with Rudolph’s Harris telling Baldwin’s Baier, “He can dance all he wants to ‘YMCA’ or to any other song he doesn’t realize is a gay anthem.”
Although Baldwin then tried to get Rudolph to bad-mouth Trump supporters, she wouldn’t budge.
“Are they morons? Slack-jaws? Stump-humpers? Cross-eyed meatheads?” Baldwin requested, prompting an exasperated Rudolph to reply, “You’re trying real hard to make me say something bad!”
Shortly after that, he instructed her, “You’re very sexy when you’re angry, you know that?”
“Yes, I do,” Rudolph’s Harris replied, inflicting the “SNL” viewers to go wild.
