Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on “Saturday Night Live” in the final days before the Nov. 5 election, playing herself as the mirror-image double of Maya Rudolph’s version of her in the show’s cold open.

A Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner on Sunday said that the Democratic presidential candidate’s “SNL” appearance may have violated the agency’s rule about equal time being given to candidates.
