So, let's talk about Maya Rudolph - she's not exactly thrilled with how the internet has been treating creators lately, especially those on Saturday Night Live.
Back when she was rocking SNL from 2000 to 2007, the internet wasn't as nosy. Maya mentioned to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 how folks weren't pulling up sketches on their phones the next day like they do now. Nope, you caught the whole show or nothing.
Nowadays, Maya feels like everyone's a critic, ready to pounce on anything and everything. It's like people are just waiting to tear apart a soundbite or spin a story out of control. She's not into that vibe at all and prefers to keep her distance from the online drama.
The way Maya sees it, sketch comedy is all about taking risks, even if it means bombing sometimes. Back in her SNL days, they had this inside joke called 's--- can alley' for those moments when a sketch crashed and burned. It was brutal, sure, but also kinda hilarious in a twisted way.
Maya's comedy style is all about going big or going home. She's not about to spill all her secrets, preferring to keep a few layers wrapped up tight. Instead, she channels her energy into larger-than-life characters, almost like a form of armor. It's her way of protecting that sensitive soul while still making folks laugh.
Nowadays, you can catch Maya on Apple TV+'s Loot, where she's diving into her second season. But don't forget, she's also heading back to SNL on May 11th, this time as a host. So, get ready for some serious laughs!
