‘Lunatic’ Natalie Harp makes unhinged ‘SNL’ debut

Saturday Night Live just introduced its take on famous Donald Trump sycophant Natalie Harp—and it’s terrifying.

The iconic sketch comedy series kicked off its 52nd season on Saturday with a cold open featuring Trump (played once again by James Austin Johnson) talking to Mayor Zohran Mamdani (played by returning guest Ramy Youssef), only for the two to be interrupted by an unsettling appearance from Harp.

“Natalie, I didn’t realize you were in New York,” Trump said.

Harp, played by cast member Ashley Padilla, responded giddily, “Oh, I wasn’t. I ran here from D.C., Weapons-style.”

Harp, 35, is Trump’s extremely devoted personal aide, who has faced continued media scrutiny over her seemingly fanatical loyalty to the president.

Padilla leaned hard into the idea that Harp is unhealthily obsessed with Trump, even doing an impression of the possessed villain from the hit horror movie Obsession.

After making a series of unsettling faces, Harp said, “I’m kidding, I’m totally normal,” but neither Trump nor Mamdani seemed reassured.
