Jacob Soboroff meets Paul Rudd during a live hit

Actor Paul Rudd made an unexpected appearance during a live broadcast on MSNBC from a polling station in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Voters waited in line for hours on the campus of Temple University, in a city where Vice President Kamala Harris hopes that the participation will be significant. Harris held four rallies Monday in Pennsylvania, in what could be the swing state in her race against the former president. Donald Trump.

MSNBC reporter Jacob Soboroff was reporting from Temple University, where he interviewed voters who said they had been waiting in line for two hours. He noted that a table had been set up to provide people in line with snacks and drinks while they waited.

When he had completed his report, he sent it back to Deadline: White House host Nicole Wallace.

“Two things,” she said. “If the people handing out snacks are accepting donations for their snack supply, get me a Venmo, and I’ll send them a Venmo to replenish the snack line.”

Soboroff looked off-screen and shouted, “Nicolle Wallace wants your Venmo, guys.”

As Wallace began speaking again, Soboroff seemed distracted and began walking down the voting line:

SOBOROFF: Nicolle, wait a second. Excuse me for interrupting, but there’s someone here, I believe, that I heard said there was a long line here. Here it is. Hey, Paul! Paul! I’m live with Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC. Paul Rudd has just arrived, Nicolle, because he heard the queue was very long. Paul, what made you go out?

RUDD: I just wanted to give people some water. They’ve been waiting in line for a long time and it’s a wonderful thing that all these young people went out to vote.

SOBOROFF: Two hours, they say, some of these young guys are waiting in line.

RUDD: It’s impressive.

SOBOROFF: When you heard that, did you say, “Right now, I have to come here. I have to reach this line”?

RUDD: We did a lot today here in Pennsylvania. And yes, we wanted to tell these students that they are doing very good things.

SOBOROFF: It’s good to see you. I enjoy being here. What do you think of the election?

RUDD: It makes me feel good to hand out water.

SOBOROFF: I’ll let you do it. Nicolle Wallace wanted their Venmo. Get your Venmo because she wants to donate water too.

RUDD: I appreciate it.

SOBOROFF: Thank you, Paul.
