We Can Almost Hear Maya Rudolph Reacting to Kamala Harris as the VP Pick: “Oh Sh*t"

11/08/2020 - 11:49 PM

Maya Rudolph may be packing her bags for Studio 8H once again now that Sen. Kamala Harris is officially Joe Biden's pick for vice president [1]. The actress portrayed the California politician on Saturday Night Live [2] last year, and ended up receiving an Emmy nomination [3] for her spot-on work. On Tuesday, Rudolph shared her first reaction [4] to the breaking VP news with Entertainment Weekly, which was basically, "Oh sh*t."

"That's spicy" and "ruh-roh" were also a couple of Rudolph's knee-jerk reactions before she considered returning to SNL to reprise her impression. "I love going to the show any excuse I can get . . . I just didn't really anticipate travelling during this pandemic, but if there's anyone who can work it out I'm sure Lorne [Michaels] has some kind of invisible helicopter that can get me there," she joked. "Ever since I was a kid, truly, I wanted to be on any kind of SCTV, Saturday Night Live [5], and I can't believe that I got to work there, and I can't believe that it's my family still. I'm so thrilled that I got to go back. It's my favourite place to play."

Our fingers are crossed for Rudolph (and the rest of the SNL crew) to find a safe way to bring the show back in time for election season, so we can see the hilarity play out on TV. Although rumours are swirling about a return to the studio [6] in the near future, we'd happily settle for another at-home episode or two. Regardless, when Rudolph acts as Harris again, we'll be watching.
