Saturday Night Live's final 2020 episode kicked off with a little battle between VPs.
Hosted by Kristen Wiig, the broadcast began with a cold open poking fun at Mike Pence, who received the COVID-19 vaccine on Friday. He's joined by his replacement, Senator Kamala Harris played once again by Maya Rudolph. The cast portrays Pence, played by Beck Bennett, as a fervent BTS fan, before giving us the sweet satisfaction of showing Harris slap Pence across the face.
This also marks the debut of Alex Moffat's Joe Biden after Jim Carrey's exit.
Two excellent #SNL things already: Mike Pence imagining himself as Kevin Spacey’s character in American Beauty; and Kamala Harris slapping Mike Pence hard across the face.

Mike Pence: "How did you get into the WH?"
Kamala Harris: "I won more votes!"
