You know what I really like about Kamala Harris appearing on SNL?

It was NBC's attempt at redemption for making Trump a public figure that consequently catapulted him to the WH. I mean, The Apprentice.

The producer of The Apprentice gave his mea culpa a couple of weeks ago. While we haven't heard from NBC along those lines, I'm sure there are executives at 30 Rock who have been privately shaking their heads and chanting, "What have I/we done?" Yeah guys, the money WAS nice for a while, but essentially you and Mark Burnett own this fiasco where we find ourselves now. You made Network into a documentary from a Hollywood movie.

Someone had to go to Lorne Michaels and beg him to do anything and it would be rubberstamped. And Lorne rhetorically said, "Anything?" And they responded, "Anything, just do it fast."

IMO, NBC isn't off the hook, but I do appreciate the effort.

Her popularity is off the charts.
Her interaction with Maya was absolutely priceless.
