In late July, Maya Rudolph’s name was trending on social media. The reason had nothing to do with her four Emmy nominations for her work on three different shows — a feat that’s not only impressive but also unprecedented. It was because President Joe Biden had announced that he would not seek re-election and was endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, now the Democratic nominee.

The magnitude of the buzz generated by “Saturday Night Live” fans who immediately thought of Rudolph reprising her role as VP left her speechless. “It was wild!” Rudolph tells Variety. “On top of the excitement I was feeling, I was receiving so many GIFs that made me laugh: LeBron [James] waiting to get in the game, Roman Roy checking his emails… my phone hasn’t stopped blowing up.”

Yes, when Season 50 premieres on Sept. 28, she's expected to return to "SNL" to play Harris with the too-cool swagger and confident wink that won her an Emmy in 2019 and continued to sport during the 2020 election campaign.

But it was just a few days earlier that Rudolph got her first taste of good news — she’d received Emmy nominations for hosting “Saturday Night Live” (and one for original songwriting for the show), voicing Connie the Hormone Monstress in Netflix’s “Big Mouth” and portraying a bored billionaire on her Apple TV+ show, “Loot.” Four nominations for three different projects in one year? Let’s face it, the woman’s got the talent.
