Steve Martin’s next role will not be the Midwestern politician the internet hoped he’d portray.
With Maya Rudolph’s wildly popular impression of Kamala Harris on “Saturday Night Live,” fans clamored to see who the late-night comedy show would pick to play Harris’ new running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
With similar hairstyles and their signature glasses, many fans quickly drew comparisons between Walz and Martin, who’s been a frequent “SNL” guest but never a formal cast member.
The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday that “SNL” producer Lorne Michaels called Martin to offer him the role on the upcoming 50th season, premiering Sept. 28, which he declined.
I think it has cycles. Depends on what pop culture content there is to joke about, as well as writers and cast “meshing”.
Adam Driver doing the Undercover Boss as Kylo Ren was gold. That was only a few years ago, right? Right? Please?
I prefer him as oil baron Abraham H. Parnassus.
Oh shit! Had to be… surely just a few… 🪦
