Kamala Harris may have lost the 2024 Presidential election, but the race gave audiences another opportunity to appreciate the comedic talents of Maya Rudolph on Saturday Night Live. Returning to the show 17 years after her departure, her impression of the VP and Democratic nominee for POTUS was fantastic and an easy highlight of the ongoing 50th season.
That’s no surprise to those who watched Rudolph in her seven years on the show and subsequent appearances. The Groundlings alum gave us sidesplitting impersonations of Oprah Winfrey, Beyonce, Donatella Versace, and Whitney Houston. That’s in addition to one of my all-time favorite bits where she warbles the National Anthem and her “Bronx Beat” talk show alongside Amy Poehler. #19 will be up soon!
