Maya Rudolph to revive her Kamala Harris impression on new SNL season

Maya Rudolph is set to reprise her memorable impression of Kamala Harris on the upcoming new season of Saturday Night Live.

Rudolph first portrayed the Vice President on the show during an appearance in 2019, where she went head-to-head with Woody Harrelson’s Joe Biden, referencing their Democratic primary debates.

She later revived the impression throughout the 2021 season, and now, after Biden endorsed Harris to replace him in the 2024 presidential election, Rudolph will be back on screen again to play her.

Deadline reports that she will be a recurring presence on the 50th season, which kicks off on September 28 and will run through the final weeks of the presidential campaign.

SNL is set to celebrate its 50th anniversary with a special three-hour primetime special on NBC. To be aired live on February 16, 2025, it will be part of a “celebratory weekend” for the show.

“We’re doing the 50th anniversary show in February of ’25, so I will definitely be there for that, and definitely be there until that, and sometime before that we’ll figure out what we’re gonna do,” the show’s creator Lorne Michaels said.

NBC ran a similar tribute for the show’s 40th birthday in 2015, featuring appearances from countless alumni from SNL history, including Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, Billy Crystal, Will FerrellNorm MacDonald and Tina Fey.

A feature film about the show’s premiere episode on October 11, 1975 is also in the works. Titled SNL 1975, it is set to be directed by Jason Reitman (Juno, Up In The Air, Ghostbusters: Afterlife).

The film will be based on real-life accounts based on an extensive series of interviews conducted by Reitman and co-writer Gil Kenan with “all the living cast, writers and crew”.

Gabriel LaBelle from The Fabelmans will portray Michaels, while The Maze Runner’s Dylan O’Brien will play Dan Aykroyd in the film. Succession’s Nicholas Braun takes on the role of Muppets creator Jim Henson, and Stranger Things’ Finn Wolfhard has also been cast as an unnamed NBC intern.

Bill Murray has also spoken about who he believes should play him. “I like Kenan Thompson; he could play me. Or Bill Hader. Those two… or Kristen Wiig… any of those three could play me. Or Amy Poehler,” he quipped.

Rudolph, meanwhile, recently opened for Vampire Weekend and marked the occasion by covering the TikTok viral smash ‘One Margarita’.
