Maya Rudolf needs a good vehicle.

She also needs someone to spell her last name right

OOPs my shame Rudolph

I'm selling my Camry.

OP, I adore Maya Rudolph and I'm sure you'll find a lot of us confirmed bachelors do, too. I think the things that made Maya so appealing on SNL, even when the writing wasn't up to snuff - that wild look in her eyes, the boldness, having just the right screws loose - are probably what make her a bit ill suited for less broad comedy. Anytime I've seen her do more low key stuff - like that short-lived sitcom she was on - she's seemed hamstrung; holding back. Honestly, she could be marvelous in a well written musical comedy role, but I doubt with her 57 children she could commit to an 8 show/wk schedule and she'd probably get bored performing the same thing night after night. Her variety special on NBC, while hardly perfect, seemed like the best vehicle for her since SNL.

Anywa, if we can get her, Amy P and Tina Fey back on SNL once a season, I'll be happy.

Too bad about that face tho

Gee I think she looks fine. Her unique face is part of her likability! And its so rubbery and expressive.

She just started on an IFC miniseries last night called The Spoils For The Dying. Two half hour episodes every Wednesday.

It's a murder mystery set in the Jazz world

It has many well-known actors. I'm watching because the lead is played by the actor who played Omar on The Wire.

OP, you should tell her baby daddy P.T. Anderson to write her a good role then.

I enjoy her acting, but always find myself trying to figure out if she's unfortunate-looking or if I'm just a closet uncultured bigot.

Sparkle needs a remake. Third times the charm!

She had Bridesmaids.

Maya said her value to SNL was that she could play any ethnic persuasion. I thought she had so much more to offer and wish she and Martin Short had been given more time to develop their variety show.

Butter face.

Yet another thread from 2015. Somebody on DL is really digging into the archives.
