Carvey said that the Democratic nominee’s team requested a photo.
‘No, I’m not kidding.
I’m being serious.’
She laughed so hard.
“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.
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.
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?'”
“There’s a tension and a sensitivity going on, a quietness.
It was like an exotic tiger was coming.
‘When is Kamala coming?’
