Vice President Harris will make an appearance on Saturday Night Live, risking appearing on a live comedy sketch show in the final days before the election, in an attempt to appeal to voters through a national platform with broad cultural reach, according to people familiar with the matter. Going live on television is a gamble for presidential candidates or any celebrity with no acting experience, but it has also been gambled by previous campaigners, including Trump and Hillary Clinton in 2015 and Obama in 2007. However, few did so in the final days of the campaign. One of the show's most popular recurring features was casting actors as presidents and presidential candidates.
