Steve Martin Explains Why He Won't Play Tim Walz on 'SNL'


Comedian Steve Martin says he's not the right fit for the guest role.

As soon as the democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, named Walz as her running mate, the internet went into a fervor over how perfect Martin would be to play the 60-year-old politician on the long-running sketch comedy series. However, Martin has revealed that, although producer Lorne Michaels did get in touch with him about the possibility, he declined the offer. You can tell she loves life and she is real and she is honest and she has no problem speaking her mind and being forthright about it, which I think is so important right now," the comedian shared at the time.
