Maya Rudolph chats with The Hollywood Reporter at the 'IF' movie premiere at says she basically got no rehearsal time for her "mother" sketch last week on SNL. Plus, she reveals how she would choose Phoebe Waller-Bridge to be her Hollywood imaginary friend.
00:00Congratulations on this movie. You're playing, or you're voicing alligator, but I wanted to know who in Hollywood would you want to voice your real-life imaginary friend if you had one?
00:09Aww. Hmm. Well, I do find Phoebe Waller's bridge, Phoebe Waller's bridge, I do find Phoebe Waller's bridge's voice very comforting, so she could voice me. I don't know if it would match my imaginary friend because she kind of, I mean, she kind of looks like a little, like, like a little dusty old witch.
00:30But I love Phoebe's voice, it's just so comforting.
00:33And very quickly, I did want to ask about your mother's sketch on SNL. Everyone has been talking about it. How long did that take you to rehearse and nail that in one tape?
00:41We barely got to rehearse, so that's the hardest part about SNL is you do it so close to airtime that it never really feels finished, so we just did as much as we'd gotten done, and I can't believe we pulled it off. It was really fun.
00:59Yeah, no, you nailed it. It was a dream come true.
01:03Well, thank you again for stopping by. Congratulations on the film.
