Maya Rudolph's up again y'all
Maya Rudolph reacts to Kamala Harris VP pick: 'Oh s---'It's official: Joe Biden has selected Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate in the 2020 election. And Maya Rudolph, who played Harris during the Democratic presidential debates on Saturday Night Live, has some thoughts.
"That's spicy," she told EW.
The news that Harris has been selected as Biden's choice for vice president broke while Rudolph happened to be recording a panel discussion with EW and other Emmy nominees. Coincidentally, Rudolph is Emmy nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her portrayal of Harris on the sketch show.
"Oh s---," Rudolph immediately responded upon hearing the news.
"Somebody's gonna be very busy now," Wanda Sykes teased, alluding to Rudolph's return to SNL. "Ruh-roh," Rudolph responded, before going on to address the likelihood that she'll reprise her turn as Harris.
"I love going to the show. Any excuse I can get, I love. I just didn't really anticipate traveling during a pandemic, but if there's anyone that can work it out I'm sure Lorne Michaels has some sort of invisible helicopter that can get me there," she joked.
