Maya Rudolph — who has a pretty immense lineup of exciting new projects in the works — stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers and recalled an old project: doing impersonations on SNL. Since she left the show in 2007, she’s experienced the very typical phenomenon of people telling her they wish she’d return to the show to mock so-and-so. Recently, she told Seth Meyers, she’s experienced a surge in this — akin to Tina Fey being pestered about playing Sarah Palin — after Rachel Dolezal’s labyrinthine racial fabrication story momentarily overtook the news.
