Dana Carvey says Kamala Harris 'bent over laughing' as he did Joe Biden impression for her at “SNL”

"I just did all my Biden hooks. 'No, I'm not kidding. I'm being serious.' She laughed so hard."

Dana Carvey's impression of Joe Biden on Saturday Night Live has an unexpected admirer: Kamala Harris.

The comedian recalled his experience with the vice president during her SNL appearance last week in an episode of his Superfly podcast. "She'd done the cold opening and it was a very — whatever your political thing is, it was a very human moment, the way the audience, the emotion of the audience for her in that studio for about two minutes, couldn't help but kind of well you up," Carvey said of Harris' 90-second cameo alongside her impersonator, Maya Rudolph. "I mean, it just was sort of emotional."

Carvey said that the Democratic nominee's team requested a photo. "And then she's down in Maya's dressing room, her people go, 'Oh, take a picture,' because I was still dressed as Biden," he recalled. "And then I came in and she kind of went, 'Hey,' and so I had about a minute face-to-face with her and I just did all my Biden hooks. 'No, I'm not kidding. I'm being serious.' She laughed so hard. She was bent over laughing"

And since few people in the world have known Biden more closely than Harris has in the past four years, Carvey was intrigued by her approval. "That was kind of interesting," he said. "I guess she sees all of this from a different point of view. But it seemed cathartic or something. I don't know. People seem to like it.”

Carvey also said that he was intimidated by the vice president's massive security detail backstage. "They seem to be 6 foot 5," he said. "They had helmets. They had flak jackets, big boots. night vision goggles. And then this assault rifle or machine gun or whatever it was. And, you know, I'm dressed as a tomato and I'm like, 'Hi fellas!' I never felt more feminine."

The comedian wasn't entirely sure how to behave with so many Secret Service agents around. "When I was walking down the middle of those guys, dressed as Biden, I just instinctually did a little salute," Carvey recalled, "Like I was the commander in chief."

Carvey also said that the atmosphere was electric on set before Harris' arrival. "It was all very, just 'When is she coming? How is she coming?'" he recalled. "There's a tension and a sensitivity going on, a quietness. It was like an exotic tiger was coming. 'When is Kamala coming?' And she comes in and she turns and she gets a huge smile on her face, looks all around [Studio] 8H and goes, 'Oh, [if] my mother could see me now.' And then kind of under her breath, she goes, 'Of course she's seeing me now.'"
