TMZ: Maya Rudolph returns to SNL to play Michelle Obama, no Tina as Sarah tonight

Maya Rudolph Goes Barack to "SNL"

Posted Oct 24th 2008 11:52AM by TMZ Staff

Since they've had great success with Tina Fey and Will Ferrell, well placed sources tell us "SNL" is once again bringing back a former cast member ... Maya Rudolph will play Michelle Obama this weekend.
Maya and Michelle
Besides playing Mrs. O, we're told Maya -- who left the show last November -- will once again co-star with Amy Poehler in their "Bronx Beat" skit. Oh my gawd!

Tragically, we're told Tina will not be back playing Sarah Palin on Saturday.
-end-

7. So Amy's done with SNL now, right?

I heard once she had the baby, she was done with the SNL. She has a mid-season show so I think she's leaving for maternity leave and then moving on to her new show.

10. I'm not sure what it's called...

I know it was created by the same people who produce the US version of "The Office." It will be on NBC. That's all I've heard about it so far. I'm looking forward to it.

3. They shouldn't let people know that there'll be no Tina Palin...

Being so forewarned guarantees I won't watch it.

5. Yep...she's the only one worth watching

I love Amy Poehler too but Fey's version of Palin made SNL watchable again.
