Maya Rudolph knew early on she was born to make people laugh, but her run on Saturday Night Live cemented her place as a comedy powerhouse. In this chat from September 2018, Willie sits down with Maya inside SNL’s iconic Studio 8H to talk about her favorite celebrity impressions, working alongside icons like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, and how the show became her comedy boot camp, paving the way for hit roles in Bridesmaids and her Amazon series Forever with Fred Armisen.
