People online have been clamoring for Steve Martin to portray Minnesota’s Gov. Tim Walz on “Saturday Night Live” and the comedian has thoughts.
People online have expressed their interest in seeing the comedian take on the role of Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate.Vice President Kamala Harris chose Walz as her running mate and shortly after, pop culture enthusiasts decided to appoint Martin as the “SNL” version of the governor.Los Angeles TimesThe “Only Murders in the Building” star told the newspaper that Michaels called him with an offer on Aug. 7.
“I wanted to say 'no' and, by the way, he wanted me to say 'no,'” Martin told the newspaper. “I said, ‘Lorne, 'I’m not an impressionist. You need someone who can really nail the guy.’ I was picked because I have gray hair and glasses.”But it's both of their white hairs and black-rimmed glasses and welcoming smiles that fans really leaned into. However, Martin didn't want to commit to the role.
“It’s ongoing,” he said. “It’s not like you do it once and get applause and never do it again. Again, they need a real impressionist to do that. They’re gonna find somebody really, really good. I’d be struggling.” Season 50 of “SNL” will premiere on Sept. 28. As the election cycle continues, the comedy sketch show is known for having actors take on the presidential nominees and running mates in various skits.
Reports have surfaced that Maya Rudolph would reprise her portrayal of the vice president — yet she or “SNL” have yet to confirm.Rudolph first played Harris during the Democratic presidential primaries in 2019 and continued when she was named President Joe Biden’s running mate and eventual VP.“It’s a great blazer, and then I think just a little ... you know, maybe just a little bit of, like, the way she talks in the back of her throat,” she added. “But what I notice about her — she’s so smiley.
