Former “Saturday Night Live” castmember Maya Rudolph will return to the show to play Vice President Kamala Harris during its 50th season, according to Deadline.
Rudolph, who left “SNL” in 2007, first came back to the sketch show to play Harris in 2019. Her impersonation was so good she won an Emmy for it, leading fans to wonder if she would return this year to play the vice president as Harris runs for president against Donald Trump.
In October 2019, Harris told Seth Meyers on his late-night show that she grew up watching SNL.
“The thought that anyone would be in any way depicting me on ‘Saturday Night Live’ was just — I was a bit overwhelmed,” she said. “But I will tell you that I fully intend to make sure [Rudolph] has a good eight years of work.”
