Has Kamala Harris Seen the ‘Road Work Ahead’ Vine?

As a cinema enthusiast with a knack for deciphering the intricacies of pop culture, I must say, last night’s Saturday Night Live episode left me utterly amused and slightly bewildered. The digital team’s collaboration with Kamala Harris and Maya Rudolph to encourage voting through the “We Are Not the Same Person” TikTok sound felt like a masterful blend of politics and virality.


Last night, Kamala Harris made a last-minute stop on Saturday Night Live to get out the vote one more time. The SNL digital team also helped out by getting her and Maya Rudolph to ask people to Pokémon GO ex-Vine-star-turned-YouTubeer to the polls. Rudolph and Harris did the viral “We Are Not the Same Person” sound on TikTok, despite very much the same person, dramaturgically. Let’s break this whole thing down.

Who are Drew and Danny?

Here are two individuals: Drew Gooden and Danny Gonzalez. Both have transitioned from Vine to YouTube, and they share a notable appearance in the well-known Eddy Burback/Ted Nivison series set in Margaritaville and Rainforest Cafe. They bear a resemblance, as well as having wives who look alike. Additionally, both of them featured in the Camp Unplug webseries.

And you are telling me they are not the same person?

Initially, Gooden gained recognition for his “Road Work Ahead” Vine, a critical observation of the infrastructure deterioration during the Obama era. Unlike others in the Vine community, Gooden distinguished himself by incorporating special effects. Later in 2019, they released a song to further emphasize their point.

Does Kamala Harris know who either of these people are?

Come on now.

What about Maya Rudolph?

It’s quite plausible that this scenario unfolded. A close friend of Rudolph’s, Amy Poehler, is well-known for being addicted to TikTok. Given that she might have heard the sound, one could speculate if she would have delved deeper into the mystery. It’s also possible that she might have shared her findings with Rudolph. However, since we don’t have concrete evidence, it remains a possibility. It feels like a maybe!

So this is like when Kamala was “brat” but nobody, especially news anchors, knew what that meant?

Oh yeah, this is exactly like that.

Have Drew and Danny responded?

In awe, I shared SNL’s video clip on my Instagram Stories, remarking, “I could sense back in 2019 that one day, this song we recorded would be lipsynced by our Vice President.
