“The Maya Rudolph Show” was a mess that couldn”t distinguish itself from “SNL”
“There was nothing spectacularly terrible about 'The Maya Rudolph Show,”” says Pilot Viruet. “Some songs went too long and some sketches fell flat, but nothing too egregious happened. As a whole, though, it was boring, full of shoddy writing, and not worth talking about the next morning. It”s hard not to compare the show to 'Saturday Night Live.' Rudolph even mentioned her seven-year tenure on that show in her first song.” PLUS: It relied more on familiar names than good writing, it was an extended “SNL” spoof of a variety show, it was dated yet joyous, watch highlights, and there”s no reason to make a variety show these days.
