The font is back, baby. America's fun.
Aunt 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 Plus 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.
Rudolph played Harris several times in the lead up to
the 2020 election,
first as a candidate for president and then.
Ends VP pick. She most recently did so in a
March 2021 episode that she hosted.
I'm just a shy entertainment lawyer.
SNL has brought in former cast members and A listers
to play political figures a number of times over the
years.
Tina Fey played Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin several
times in 2008.
Frequent host Alec Baldwin did a Donald Trump impression on
a number of episodes during the former president's term.
And a Biden impression was passed from Jason Sudeikis during
the Obama years to Jim Carrey before the 2020 election.
SNL is set to begin its milestone 50th season on
September 28th.
