Kath & Kim & Maya?

On the heels of her well-received turn as a lounge-singing Michelle Obama on Saturday Night Live ("Solid... solid as Barack!"), Maya Rudolph will guest-star on an upcoming episode of the NBC sitcom Kath & Kim, alongside fellow SNL alum Molly Shannon, according to executive producer Michelle Nader. Rudolph plays a spiritual guide who helps Phil (John Michael Higgins) lose weight, and then becomes a bit of a "girl crush" to Shannon's Kath.

Nader also hinted that she is pursuing some big-name diva guest stars for an episode in which Kath and Kim travel to Las Vegas to see Cher perform. Could sitcom-guest-star-magic lightning strike twice for Britney? Call your agent, Ms. Spears!
