In Addition To Not Being Funny, SNL May Have Violated Election Law With Kamala Cameo
Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on “Saturday Night Live” last night – playing herself across from Maya Rudolph’s version of her in the show’s cold open.

It was essentially an exact copy of Trump’s appearance in 2015, except not funny.

What’s more, it may have violated election laws.
As Michael Shellenberger points out, “The producer of Saturday Night Live said neither Harris nor Trump would appear on the show “because of election laws.” Last night, about 60 hours before polls open, he put Harris on the show in a warm & humanizing sketch.

NBC clearly violated the law. In a 2022 fact sheet, FCC writes, “FCC rules seek to ensure that no legally qualified candidate for office is unfairly given less access to the airwaves – outside of bona fide news exemptions – than their opponent.”
I will interview @BrendanCarrFCC about this at 11:45 ET on an X Spaces— please tune in https://t.co/PaCiLoVUfP
