The promotional video released on social media shows a montage of preparation as Carrey and SNL alumna Maya Rudolph suit up — putting on hair pieces, checking watches and lacing up Converse sneakers to play the former vice president and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.). 

Rudolph first debuted as Harris on “SNL” in 2019, scoring praise from Harris herself.

“SNL” returns this weekend, October 3. The return marks the first “limited” live studio audience present for premiere taping.
