Something I love about Maya is her ability to be both extremely elegant and queenly, but also one of the goofiest, most physically hilarious people ever.
@@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin Yes they do have writers for the monologue, skits & interview questions to help them stay on course. They have to to keep within the time constraints they work with on the show.
@@tyrese3745 It just didn’t sound like that with the quotes. But I trust you know what you meant. It comes off as if you were saying something else like it wouldn’t be a happy thing to see RuPaul in drag. Sorry I misunderstood.
They temporarily had Punkie Johnson as Kamala, but that was for a State of the Union sketch that was overshadowed by Scarlett Johanssen's Katie Britt impression. But now Punkie Johnson isn't in the cast anymore, so they're going back to the person who did the impression the best: Maya Rudolph.
Minnie Ripperton is a LEGEND! She has MANY beautiful songs besides the iconic Loving You for sure! And she also left us with this treasure that is Maya Rudolph! I'm so glad RuPaul asked her a little about her mother and father.
Both of her parents are great talents, and very attractive. Her dad is still a very handsome man. I like to think that Minnie's spirit watches her baby girl and Maya still feels her love.
Will Kate or Kristin take on the recurring guest role of Gwen Walz…. Who do you hope will play Tim Walz? Who will play Doug? (Sad and glad that James Austin Johnson’s DJT will hopefully be retired…. who am I kidding there will be trials and hopefully prison… and GOD WILLING no POTUS)
Wow, Maya is so knowledgeable about things, love that Ru gave her time to just talk about herself and her interests here rather than to shallowly just promote a tv show/movie etc.
I was a teenager when Minnie Riperton song was on the AM (Medium Wave) radio, and hearing her add "Maya, Maya" to the end of "Loving you". I realize how old I am now when little newborn Maya, is now over 50.
Same here, 50 years ago I was 13 and in Love with Jimmy Parker a neighbor boy when this song was on WQAM radio, a top 40 AM station out of Miami Florida, unbelievable
RuPaul is hands down THE BEST late night host/guest host of this show. Why waste time with all those others? Just slot Ru in and let us roll. A fantastic interviewer, listener, and really knows how to move things along in a very organic way. And his knowledge & JOY! Just infectious. Interviewing Maya? A coup.
🇨🇦 We just met. Could I ask if you do genuinely find the host likeable? I like most people but for me this person comes across as insincere, affected and not at all authentic. But in all sincerity you meant what you wrote about the host?
I've loved Maya since she starred in Idiocracy. What a wonderful person and national treasure. Hope she has steady work on SNL for the next 8 years mimicking Kamala.
I learned more about Maya in this one interview than I have learned about any celebrity Jimmy Kimmel ever interviewed. If he is gong to step down, he needs to give RuPaul the job. Stat.
whoa…sooo much talent in that family its crazy. now i know why her daughter was like, “i should probably be an actor.”. Her mom is right. while most actors need as much time as possible in the biz to get connections, her daughter can take her damn time, lol. that’s 3 generations of A-listers in her family.
RuPaul, in the Fill In For Jimmy Kimmel challenge you were the hostess with the mostess. Condragulations my dear, you're the winner of this weeks challenge.
@@POLITIMICOST Noway! She looks elegant, classy and stylish. It brings out the queen that she is. You don’t need to be in a Kardashian leotard everyday to give your body a beautiful shape!
OMG, I love Maya so much, and I hope she's a regular guest as Kamala on SNL moving forward. Ru's doing a killer job interviewing as well. Despite what I just said, I love that this wasn't all about politics, but about "the business" and how much they relate and respect comedy and performance. This is one show that will never stoop to a serious heart-felt interview with Matt Damon.
In RuPaul's grand and dazzling might, Where spotlight casts its regal light, Maya Rudolph, in charm arrayed, Takes wing with grace that ne'er shall fade. With RuPaul's guidance, brilliant and fair, Unfolding tales beyond compare, From Ernie's fame to bands' sweet cheer, Maya's ardor rings sincere. In mirth and praise, their hearts entwine, RuPaul and Maya, stars align. With warmth and grace, their spirits dance, Imparting joy in a fleeting trance. So harken to Maya and RuPaul’s gleam, Their interview a golden dream. Each word, each smile, a radiant stay, In timeless moments, they make us sway.
The last four lines of your expressive poem are my favorite. When I write poetry it is usually free from. For me, writing poetry where lines 1-2 and 3-4 rhyme is harder. Not only do you have to follow your rhyming sequence. Your whole message cannot waver throughout your stanzas. Your very completed poem shows talent.
@user-pp1on4fk7d: Not everyone is aware of everything there is to know. I didn't learn this interesting fact about Maya until 10 years ago myself. Everyday we are granted with the opportunity of learning something new. And what's Old to some becomes New to others.
Oh my goodness. I didn't realize who Maya's mother was. I love that song so much. I also lost my mother when I was young. Maya was six and I was seven. I understand how that felt at that age. Big hugs to her for sure. I love Maya Rudolph and her comedy. She is the perfect choice to portray VP Kamala Harris in the SNL skits.
@tfcooks Don't know if Maya can hit those high notes. Beverly D'Angelo can! Vegas Vacation film. She's on stage singing w Wayne Newton. He was singing Minnie's iconic song. When it came to those high notes Beverly did them! She was also flawless as Patsy Cline (what a voice!) in Coal Miner's Daughter. Would love to hear Maya sing! Can't wait for SNL next month & Maya returning as Kamala!
I can never forget her talent on SNL. That era was by far the best. With her capability of playing a character with no emotions, but still performing it flawlessly yet conveying comedy is princess. 😍🌟🆒❗
This is how old I am. Maya's Mother, Minnie Ripperton, sang with a group called Rotary Connection. I loved their version of Ruby Tuesday, and I bought their album when I was 15. I loved finding out that Maya is her daughter.
Oh my gosh it was on VH1 and it was 12-year-old me's introduction to the fact that drag queens existed, much to my super Catholic parents' chagrin. I am a CIS female but love the artistry of drag.
RuPaul did a great job, asking every question I'd want someone to ask her (and let's face it, as soon as Kamala Harris began running for President, who wasn't thinking that Maya Rudolph had job security for the next four years?).

She remains herself when not ‘on’. Pretty confident.
I didn't even see your comment and I wrote the exact same thing--she can be graceful but also SO funny! She's awesome.
She has that Carol Burnett energy
Well said 👏
Absolutely agree @@hayberdasher8625
omg the way Ru didn't miss a beat when asking "Do you know who the father is?" is HILARIOUS.
And she's ready to use the line "There's an ointment for that" when necessary.
Well ru had her own show in the 90s then drag race she’s not new to the game
Yeah, they don’t even have writers on these shows.
Just like Hollywood Squares.
Just a bunch of hyper-witty home-run improv hitters. 🤦♂️

Mmm-hmm, without the “drag”.

She’s a national treasure. Period.
Both of them.
thanks
Beat me to it - agreed!
I could argue that she's an INTERnational treasure perhaps, but that would be a bit too far?
@@Andre-kg6fu international superstar but homegrown 😉
SNL is gonna Cut Mya a big check when they come back. No one else can play Kamala like Mya
Rrriiiggghhhttt ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂

Mya = singer. MAYA = this person
She is perfect doing that role!
Kamala, Whitney, Beyonce and so many others.
Minnie Ripperton is a LEGEND! She has MANY beautiful songs besides the iconic Loving You for sure! And she also left us with this treasure that is Maya Rudolph! I'm so glad RuPaul asked her a little about her mother and father.

I Still love this song by Minnie....."Inside My Love"........ That one just never gets old for me❤
Inside My Love and Memory Lane are two of my favorite songs by the late, great Minnie Ripperton.
I live in Gainesville, FL. I brag about the fact that Maya was born here.
❤😂😂😂❤
I recently rewatched her VP debate sketch from 2020 and I had forgotten just how spot on her impression was/is. Looking forward to season 50!
Did you mean season 05?
Wow!
(JC😂)
My husband and I rewatched it as well and we both were saying to one another "Can't waaait for her to reprise this role, especially now!!"
Will Kate or Kristin take on the recurring guest role of Gwen Walz….
Who do you hope will play Tim Walz?
Who will play Doug?
(Sad and glad that James Austin Johnson’s DJT will hopefully be retired…. who am I kidding there will be trials and hopefully prison… and GOD WILLING no POTUS)
I wish they’d start the season earlier just because of all the jokes they are missing out on. 😂 4:55
I die for "I'm Speaking"
Never knew that Minnie Riperton was Maya‘s mother! Very cool to find that out.
I got into a Google rabbit hole and was shocked when I found out. She definitely didn’t ride on her parent’s coattail.
I've always known that, but Minnie Riperton was my favorite singer, and she loved her baby girl!
What? Interesting!
Me too 😂 just found out this week …
Yes and Maya has pipes too @dawnstanley1733
Wow, Maya is so knowledgeable about things, love that Ru gave her time to just talk about herself and her interests here rather than to shallowly just promote a tv show/movie etc.

only RuPaul would ask about her deceased mother, just to follow up with the singing and screaming🤣🤣
I love this woman on SNL, can’t wait for her to have more of a presence on that show again. I’m definitely gonna be locked in.
RuPaul's laugh is EVERYTHING. Someone needs to do a supercut. Please. Makes me happy everytime.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ru laughing hysterically after singing/screaming "Loving You" is 🤣🤣🤣
YES YES YES 😂
cringe
If I just watch this and only this over and over every day, I will never be in a bad mood.! Love them both!
That caught me offguard and I busted out laughing.
RuPaul and Detox have literally the exact same laugh and it's kind of hilarious.
I've loved Maya since she starred in Idiocracy. What a wonderful person and national treasure. Hope she has steady work on SNL for the next 8 years mimicking Kamala.
She was so hot in that movie
Wishing they discussed Maya’s Call Me Mother on SNL cause it was everything
Rip Minnie. I love Ru and Maya. Maya needs to be a Judge on RPDR ❤❤❤🎉
I could watch these two in conversation every night!
❤️❤️
Rupaul should be the go- to for Jimmie’s show. Always! ✨✨✨
After Jiminy Glick 😂
Ru is an amazing talk show host. These are the conversations that I just love. No silly gimmicks.
So excited to see her return to SNL as Kamala. Everyone is ready for the funt to come back! 😊😊😊
Now I gotta add a T to fun now?? 😩😩😩 LOL
The question about knowing the father... Maya's timing was PERFECT.
I learned more about Maya in this one interview than I have learned about any celebrity Jimmy Kimmel ever interviewed. If he is gong to step down, he needs to give RuPaul the job. Stat.
I love Maya, I love Ru, I love Raven… my favorite episode thus far!!!
Her partner (they have 4 kids together!) is filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson!

It's Mamala

I love Maya sooooo much! What a blessing of a person xx
RuPaul needs to have his own talk show. Hilarious! Maya is so humble.
AGAIN. He used to have one Back N Da Day and it was FABULOUS 🎉
RuPaul screaming at the end of Loving You in front of Maya was his dream coming true lol
Can't wait for the new season of SNL,when Maya and Kamala will inevitably be together to entertain us.😊
I would normally wait til Sunday morning to watch but the season staying up every Saturday night.
I love Ru cracking himself up. His laugh is infectious.
😂
This was a nice watch, very relaxing.
The quickness of the "No." Has made my day.
Me too!!! 😂😂😂 “nope”
Maya is such a talented actress/comedian!😊
Ms. Minnie Ripperton. Loving You ❤️. One Of My Favorite Songs 🎵.
Old School.
Her Voice Beautiful 😍.
Yes. 👍
I love the retro name on the desk. Only Ru. Also, Maya is the best. SO HAPPY SHE IS DOING THIS.
wow. This interview ended up so much better and meaningful than I thought. I'm so glad I saw this. Made my day.
I love Maya❣️❣️❣️
This dress she's wearing
really? I thought it was bunchy, unflattering and made her look way bigger than she is.

One of the best interviews ever. Both are national treasures
I cant believe all this time Ive been loving the Cyndi Lauper song When You Were Mine and I never even knew it was a cover of a Prince song!
It was from Prince's "Dirty Mind" album from 1980. I listened to the Prince version more than the Cyndi Lauper version.
Mind blown
Maya you have the next 8 years to do this :) ❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
"Prince Church" LOL. I'd be there every Sunday.
