"Sadly, Obama was there and had to see me dressed as him," the actor told Variety.
Maya Rudolph knows it’s going to be a busy fall.
The comedian will be returning to “Saturday Night Live” for at least the first few episodes of the show’s 50th season to portray Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
When the news broke of her return to “SNL” in late July, Rudolph — who lives in Los Angeles — not only heard from friends, family and coworkers, but also various Big Apple real estate agents.
“It’s definitely going to impact my fall,” Rudolph told Variety. “I have already heard from a lot of realtors in New York. I think the day of the announcement that she was running, some lady yelled at me across the parking lot, ‘Getting ready for New York?!’”
Rudolph won an Emmy in 2020 for her portrayal of Harris and said the key to it is emphasizing the vice president’s playful side.
