Maya Rudolph, the comedic powerhouse, is gearing up to bring her spot-on impersonation of Vice President Kamala Harris back to the 'Saturday Night Live' stage. As the 2024 Presidential race enters its final lap, Rudolph's return couldn't be timelier. Fans, get ready; "Mamala" is coming back with a bang!
In an exclusive scoop, it's revealed that pre-production for Season 3 of Rudolph's hit series "Loot" on Apple TV+ has been put on hold. Why? So Rudolph can grace us with her presence on SNL, of course! The comedy world rejoices as schedules align to make room for Rudolph's much-anticipated return.
Remember the 2020 Presidential election? SNL's clever casting of Jim Carrey and Rudolph as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris was nothing short of brilliant.
This year, as 'SNL' celebrates its 50th season starting September 28, Rudolph is set to follow a similar trajectory. The anticipation is real, folks!
'SNL' previously employed a similar stunt-casting strategy in the lead-up to the 2020 Presidential election with Jim Carrey and Rudolph playing Joe Biden and Harris from the start of the TV season in early October through December. Carrey relocated to New York, where 'SNL' is based, for the duration.
Rudolph's portrayal of Harris has not only won her Emmys but also the hearts of millions. From her debut on the 'SNL' stage in 2019 to her multiple award-winning performances, Rudolph's Harris is a comedic gift that keeps on giving. And with four Emmy nominations this year alone, Rudolph's star shines brighter than ever.
Rudolph is currently nominated for four Emmys, including a Lead Actress In a Comedy Series for 'Loot' and Guest Actress In a Comedy Series for her latest outing as 'SNL' host this past season. An 'SNL' spokesperson did not return calls for comment.
