[ # ] Steve Martin turns down playing VP candidate Tim Walz on SNL
August 7th, 2024 under Saturday Night Live, Steve Martin

Saturday Night Live asked Maya Rudolph to play Presidential candidate Kamala Harris until the election. Now they need someone to play her Vice Presidential choice, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

Well, people think that Steve Martin would be the perfect choice, so much so that Lorne Michaels asked him if he wanted to do it.

Not only did the head of SNL but so did The LA Times. So what did Martin tell Michaels, “I said, ‘Lorne, I’m not an impressionist. You need someone who can really nail the guy.’ I was picked because I have gray hair and glasses.”

The comedian added, “It’s not like you do it once and get applause and never do it again. Again, they need a real impressionist to do that. They’re going to find somebody really, really good. I’d be struggling.”

So, who do you think SNL should get to play the role? I think Jason Alexander would be great!
