The Maya Rudolph Show coming May 19th
Maya Rudolph will make her return to NBC next month with some song and sketch — not to mention, a little help from her famous friends.
The network has slated her variety show special, titled The Maya Rudolph Show, to air on May 19 at 10 p.m., and the Saturday Night Live vet — who recently starred in another Peacock comedy series, Up All Night — will be joined by Kristen Bell, Andy Samberg, Fred Armisen, Craig Robinson, Sean Hayes, and Chris Parnell.
Janelle Monáe will pop up as the musical guest, while Raphael Saaddiq will serve as bandleader.
The one-hour special, which also could double as the pilot for an ongoing series, is being executive produced by SNL overlord Lorne Michaels.

I'm surprised it took this long to get a variety show back on TV. Given the current state of pop culture it would seem like this would have happened years ago.

Get her husband to direct and I'd watch.

Talented woman. Not sure about this show but I wish her well.

I like her but she is hot or miss and can be painfully unfunny like that cameo she did on Portlandia 2 weeks ago.
