Maya as Michelle Obama on SNL this Weekend

phpNe50bOPM.jpgGood news and bad news for SNL fans this weekend. Tina Fey allegedly will not return in her role as Sarah Palin (though she did last night), but former cast member Maya Rudolph will return to play the role of Michelle Obama, TMZ reports. Does that mean Barack Obama himself will appear to accompany his faux-Michelle, or will Maya return the weekend before the election, when he's rumored to be making an appearance? SNL will likely pull out all the stops through Election Day, as their ratings are sure to go down afterwards.

Is this because they only have one black cast member on SNL?

Prolly.

Still, Maya Rudolph is a seriously funny lady. Her role in Idiocracy has solidified this. She will do the role of Michelle Obama justice.
