Maya Rudolph set to play Kamala Harris in 'SNL's general election run-up, Internet calls her 'talented'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘Loot’ star Maya Rudolph is set to make her ‘Saturday Night Live' return.

The versatile actress will be seen playing Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in the election run-up. 

Maya Rudolph's extended break from 'Loot' series makes 'SNL' return possible

After Joe Biden announced his exit from the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris for the said position, calls for Maya Rudolph's comeback were made by the satire show’s fans.

Apple TV+ series ‘Loot’ has delayed their third season which has allowed Rudolph to accept the ‘SNL ’ offer.

The 52-year-old has previously played Harris many times in the lead-up to the 2020 election, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

She first portrayed Harris as a candidate for president and later as Biden’s VP pick.

The last time Rudolph played Harris for the show was in March 2021.

The ‘SNL’ has shown several political figures in their show by bringing former cast members in the past, including Tina Fey doing Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin in 2008, and frequent host Alec Baldwin impersonating Donald Trump during the former president’s term. 

Biden's impression was most recently done by Jim Carey and was earlier done by Jason Sudeikis, Alex Moffat, and Johnson.

The iconic show will be launching its milestone 50th season on September 28.

Fans rejoice as Maya Rudolph is set to play Kamala Harris on 'SNL' again

Netizens were thrilled after it was announced that Maya Rudolph will return to 'SNL' as Kamala Harris during run-in to general elections in November. Many remembered her performance during the 2020 campaign. 

One fan commented on X, "She did it once and she'll do it again!!"

"She’s always played Kamala well. It’s gonna be really funny watching what she does next," another joined in.

A critic wrote, "The media is rigging this and Democrats will still lose because this lady is d*mb."

"I just want Kamala to win so I could see Maya for the next four years in SNL,' another said.

Another wrote, "I think Maya is extremely talented/funny but I never thought her Harris or Beyonce impressions were any good tbh. Imma watch still."
