‘SNL’ avoids political opening for MTV’s spring break, despite Maya Rudolph’s presentation – Deadline

Maya Rudolph, who regularly played Vice President Kamala Harris in Saturday Night Live, is back in New York presenting the NBC comedy.

However, despite this, Lorne Michaels’ long-running comedy avoided a sketch with Rudolph as Harris and instead chose to present her in an MTV-style spring break skit.

It is the first time that Saturday Night Live has not had a political cold that has been open for a long time, given Joe Biden’s recent inauguration and the turbulent electoral situation.

Rudolph played Cece Vuvuzela, hosting a game show in the style of Singled Out, where three contestants had to guess whether the single girls were “kidnapped, vaxxed or shaved”.

Chris Redd, Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney starred alongside Rudolph with Chloe Fineman, Ego Nwodim and Heidi Gardner as the singles.

There were some obvious tours in Florida with Rudolph’s Vuvuzela saying “You know that no one at a party in Miami is vaxed”, calling meth “Florida Adderall” and forcing one of the contestants to go on a solo date for the Versace Murder Steps .

“We are so close to the end [of the pandemic], we will ruin everything ”, she joked.
