Maya Rudolph, who was previously a SNL regular will reprise her Emmy-winning role as Vice President Kamala Harris -- a no brainer. Rudolph's impersonation of Harris has been so popular, the moment the Vice President emerged as the presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee after President Joe Biden dropped out on July 21, fans had been urging her to clear her schedule for an SNL return. And she has. Do you think she does or will do a fantastic job?
