Maya Rudolph Returning to 'SNL' to Play Kamala Harris Through 2024 Presidential Election | THR News

Maya Rudolph is returning to 'Saturday Night Live' to play Kamala Harris in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election. Production on Rudolph's Apple TV+ series 'Loot' was scheduled to start work on season three in late August, but it's been delayed for scheduling reasons. This helps free up her time to work on 'SNL.' Reps for NBC haven't replied to a request for comment.

As soon as Biden endorsed Kamala, I immediately knew Maya Rudolph was having the best day.

[christopherh]

"delayed because of scheduling" more like she told her agent do whatever you got to do to push filming because im doing SNL lmao MAMALA IS BACK

[kimsjohnson]

I know it’s a hassle to pause production but the boost her exposure will give Loot is immeasurable!

[magicworld]

I would stay home 🏡 on Saturday nights. Just to watch Tina Faye play Sarah Pailin 😂

[whatujackintv.talkcast]

Lol 😂
She did the " beyonce kamala "

[mmusya]

America's fun aunt is back. The funt. America's cool aunt. The c.... you know what let's not do this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯💯💯

[andrewsimon]

Guess it’s going to be a full time guest job now

[SirFaceFone]

Still lmao at her cameo at that DNC 2020 debate video when Kamala officially stepped down from the race.

[Shiva-ym]

For me, the greatest impersonating skit is Melissa McCarthyism as Spicer. 😂

[stephsmith]

Canadian treasure, Martin Short! Camala and Short in future SNL skits…yes!

[deileewinwin]

SNL✨️:bring her back🔥🔥🔥we need her for 4years😅

[michigantraveler]

The Senator from kamalafornia is back!!!!

[malteschaper]

I didn't know she was doing Harris on SNL. I only knew Maya from Idiocracy to be honest. I'm looking forward to watch skits with her!

[TastemyAtrocity]

Even if I didn’t care for Harris, I would vote for her just to ensure we get 4-8 years of Maya Rudolph in this iconic role. I think it will go down in SNL history. She nails the voice, expressions, and presence so well and gives her a whole new comedic spin that I wouldn’t have guessed was there. That is unlike other famous White House impressions on the show, who merely imitate and read the lines.

[peterskweres]

Let’s hope she has this gig for 8 years

[abenakwabuwaa]

When Biden stepped down
My first thought was oh wow Maya will get a new job on snl...i love goe she plays her

[marybarry]

It’s a shame that Alex Baldwin is in so much trouble right now! His rendition of Trump was off the charts!

[JOJO-fiyr]

Would I luv to see a star studded cast on opening night! 😂

[judasiscariot]

Does anyone know if they'd be bringing Alec back to play Donny?😁

[ButterpOsse]

What an honor! Legendary! Unlike my online profile, "leg and hairy!" 😂
