Maya Rudolph Expected to Play Kamala Harris on ‘SNL’ Through 2024 Election

Ethan Shanfeld Maya Rudolph has been sworn back in to “Saturday Night Live,” where she is expected to play Vice President Kamala Harris through the 2024 presidential election.

Season 50 of “SNL” will premiere on Sept. 28. While Rudolph was preparing to shoot Season 3 of her Apple TV+ comedy series “Loot,” sources indicate that the production has been pushed back to allow Rudolph to return to 30 Rock’s Studio 8H. (Both “Loot” and “SNL” are produced by Universal Television and Lorne Michaels’ Broadway Video.) A spokesperson for “Saturday Night Live,” as well as a representative for Rudolph, could not be reached for comment.

Rudolph first played Harris on “SNL” in December 2019, winning the Emmy for guest actress in a comedy series despite only having a few lines in a presidential debate sketch.

She returned throughout the 2020 election cycle to play Harris, whom she coined the “Funt,” aka America’s Fun Aunt, alongside Jim Carrey’s Joe Biden.
