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.

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.
