00:00Steve Martin is weighing in on the requests for him to play Tim Walls on Saturday Night
00:03Live.
00:04Martin's name quickly started trending on social media Tuesday after Vice President
00:09Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Governor Walls as her running mate in her 2024 presidential
00:14bid.
00:15Martin, who has made frequent guest appearances on SNL and hosted the show numerous times,
00:19indicated that he saw the chatter.
00:21He wrote on Instagram threads,
00:22I just learned that Tim Walls wants to go on the road with Marty Short.
00:26Martin and his longtime friend and Only Murders in the Building co-star, Short, have a number
00:30of live shows scheduled to take place throughout the U.S. this fall.
00:34However, Martin was not the only person named as an option to play Walls on the long-running
00:38variety show.
00:39Other suggestions from users on the app X, formerly Twitter, include Danny DeVito, Tom
00:44Arnold, Bradley Whitford, and Bill Murray, just to name a few.
00:47SNL has already enlisted alum Maya Rudolph to reprise her role as Harris through the
00:512024 election.
00:52I'm just a shy entertainment lawyer.
00:55Come on.
00:56No, Doug, all you have to do is pretend it's just us, baby.
