Maya Rudolph’s Reaction To RuPaul’s Hilarious Impression Of Her Mom Is Perfect
HuffPost
Rudolph’s mom, Minnie Riperton, is best known for her 1975 hit “Lovin' You” — and Ru gave the song’s famous high note a shot.
RuPaul did f**k it up — but it was on purpose.
The drag superstar, who is currently hosting this week’s episodes of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” interviewed Maya Rudolph on Monday — and he had impressions on the mind.
Yet he didn’t ask Rudolph right off the bat about her highly anticipated Kamala Harris impression, which she’ll reprise on “Saturday Night Live” next month. Rather, the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” host was more interested in sharing his own impression — of Ruldolph’s late mom, Minnie Riperton.
Riperton is best known for her 1975 hit “Lovin’ You,” which she co-wrote with Rudolph’s father, songwriter and music producer Richard Rudolph. The song is notorious for having an incredibly high note at its conclusion.
“You know, everyone knows that song, and we try to sing it to that high note,” RuPaul said to Rudolph nearly five minutes into the interview.
