People want Maya Rudolph to play Kamala Harris on “SNL” again.

Will Maya Rudolph’s “funt,” also known as Vice President Kamala Harris, be back on “Saturday Night Live?” Speculation has been running hot since Sunday when President Biden announced he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. However, the “SNL” alum is a busy actor these days with multiple projects under her belt.

Rudolph recently received four Emmy nods for her outstanding work on various shows, including “Loot” on Apple TV+, “Big Mouth” on Netflix, and for her hosting gigs on “SNL.” She previously portrayed Harris as a guest on the show during the 2020 presidential election cycle, capturing the essence of the vice president with her unique comedic touch.

The talented actor garnered accolades for her portrayal of Harris in a cold open sketch that parodied the PBS Democratic debate. Rudolph introduced her character as “America’s cool aunt. A fun aunt. I call that a ‘funt,'” showcasing her wit and humor in capturing Harris’ persona. Her Emmy-winning performance referenced popular culture, incorporating elements like Lizzo’s “Truth Hurts” into her portrayal.

With Biden’s decision to step aside, calls for Rudolph to reprise her role as Harris have flooded social media platforms. Democratic leaders have thrown their support behind Harris as their presidential nominee, leading up to the party’s convention in Chicago on August 19. As fans eagerly await the return of “SNL” for its 50th season premiere on September 28, the possibility of Rudolph’s comeback remains uncertain amid the show’s hiatus.

While there are currently no discussions about Rudolph’s return to “SNL,” fans can’t help but anticipate the potential revival of her beloved Harris impression. As the 2024 presidential race unfolds, the comedic portrayal of the vice president by Rudolph could once again grace the “Saturday Night Live” stage, bringing laughter and satire to viewers across the nation.
