Maya Rudolph: TV Guide News

Allison Janney Flexes Her Comedic Muscles | Movie News | 4/16/2008
Allison Janney, who we most recently saw in Juno, is set for roles in two new comedies, including Sam Mendes' This Must Be the Place (tentative title) and A Thousand Words, starring Eddie Murphy. Mendes' film features Janney as an abrasive, off-kilter woman who reunites with a former employee (Maya Rudolph) in Phoenix. Rudolph's character, meanwhile, is expecting a baby with her husband (John Krasinski), and sets off for a nationwide tour to find a suitable place to raise their child.In the Murphy vehicle, Janney plays his savvy, greedy boss at a literary agency. Murphy's character, meanwhile, learns he has only a thousand words left to say before his death. If those two films aren't enough for Janney fans (I'm talking to you, West Wing junkies), the actress will appear in a Broadway musical following her film shoots. Is Janney straying too far from her roots? Or will it be refreshing to see her in more laughable fare? Any movie with the words "Eddie Murphy" and "vehicle" in the... read more

Ask Matt | 2/29/2008
Q: I was just wondering why no Maya Rudolph on the return episode of Saturday Night Live. I believe there was some question about her returning when the season started last year, but I thought she'd re-upped. She does a great Oprah. A: The way it's explained to me is that the door is always open for her to return, but she lives in Los Angeles (with Paul Thomas Anderson, the gifted director of There Will Be Blood) and is not currently under contract. I enjoyed the first new episode quite a bit ? read more
Ask Matt | 11/9/2007
I have seen a few criticisms of Brian Williams' decision to host Saturday Night Live, people saying that as a newsman he would be denigrating his integrity, Edward R. Murrow would be spinning in his grave, yada, yada. I normally don't watch the show, but as a (print) journalist, I was curious to see Williams' performance. I think there's a line between pandering yourself for cheap laughs and showing an ability to poke fun. In my opinion, Williams did a great job of demonstrating the latter. He . read more
Maya Rudolph's Final Answer: I Unquit! | Ausiello Report | 9/25/2007
Anybody else getting dizzy? First I reported that the Saturday Night Live funny lady had decided to re-sign. Then, with egg on my face, I told you that she had changed her mind and was not returning to the show. Now I've gotten a statement from Rudolph herself in which she announces that she's staying after all."It was an agonizing decision, but ultimately, I feel I made the best choice both as a mother and as an actress," she says. "I couldn’t be happier to be returning to SNL."Suddenly, that egg on my face is starting to taste a lot like omelet. Pass the ketchup. read more
