Tuesday for her Democratic presidential bid, social media users on X quickly named Martin as a front-runner to parody the Minnesota governor on the NBC sketch show.Apparently catching wind of the internet chatter, Martin, who bears a resemblance to the politician with white hair and glasses, reacted with a cheeky response on social media., nodding to his pal and fellow comedian Martin Short .
“I wanted to say no and, by the way, he wanted me to say no,” Martin told the Times of the offered recurring gig for the show’s 50th season. “I said, ‘Lorne, I’m not an impressionist. You need someone who can really nail the guy.’ I was picked because I have gray hair and glasses.”There was one more thing that gave the Emmy winner, who will turn 79 on Aug. 14, pause: the time commitment.
“It’s ongoing,” Martin says. “It’s not like you do it once and get applause and never do it again. Again, they need a real impressionist to do that. They’re gonna find somebody really, really good. I’d be struggling.”By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners. You are also agreeing to our
