Rahm Emanuel, Andy Samberg Greet Chicago Subway Riders (VIDEO)

WATCH: 'SNL' Star Campaigns With Rahm At CTA Stop

It hardly seems like Rahm Emanuel needs any more celebrity help in the Chicago mayor's race. Bill Clinton was in town earlier this week endorsing him, and we just found out that he's getting millions of dollars in campaign contributions from the likes of Steve Jobs and Steven Spielberg. Plus, he's winning in the polls by a ridiculous margin.

But wait, there's more!

"Saturday Night Live" star and internet phenom Andy Samberg, who has done some hilarious impersonations of Rahm on the show, joined the candidate in shaking hands with CTA riders Friday night.

It's by turns amazing and painful to watch, as reporters keep trying to crack jokes with the world-famous comedian. But Samberg always plays it off: when one reporter asks if Rahm sent him a dead fish to get him to campaign with him, Andy comes back with, "I did wake up with a horse's head this morning. But that's not because of Rahm. I'm just into some weird stuff."
