Steve Martin Won’t Be Playing Tim Walz on ‘SNL’ After All

Steve Martin has weighed in on fans' requests to have him play Tim Walz on 'Saturday Night Live.'

Maya Rudolph recently answered the comedy gods prayers with her decision to return to Saturday Night Live as Vice President Kamala Harris. Tim Walz as Harris’ running mate, online users have already begun to brainstorm who could star as Rudolph’s right-hand man. Short and Martin, who became close friends on the set of Western comedy Three Amigos in 1986, have toured as a comedic duo for years, from the the two-sided interview stage show A Very Stupid Conversation to Netflix comedy special An Evening You’ll Forget for the Rest of Your Life(2018), which Rolling Stone called “wryly hip, cozily nostalgic but, also, unexpectedly touching.” Short and Martin are also on their “The Dukes of Funnytown” tour, which has dates through November and stops in cities like Nashville, Louisville, and Detroit.
