When "Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels first matched Maya Rudolph and Martin Short together during the late-night sketch show's 40th anniversary episode, the seed was planted for weekly variety program "Maya & Marty" -- which he executive produces. Fellow "Saturday Night Live" icon Kenan Thompson joins the titular entertainers on stage as they host comedy sketches, musical numbers and surprise celebrity guests. Alex Rudzinski serves as director.
Maya & Marty — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Maya & Marty is a safer, weekday version of Saturday Night Live with little to recommend it other than Maya Rudolph and Martin Short's admittedly considerable charms.

Joyce Millman The New Republic It's a variety show from 1976, with the freedom and production values of 2016. It's not for everybody, but if it's for you, you'll know it. Jun 10, 2016 Full Review Jen Chaney New York Magazine/Vulture Unsure of how to distinguish itself as a something wholly original. Jun 2, 2016 Full Review Linda Holmes NPR Ironically, one of the things that was a problem for such an underwhelming show on the whole was that it had a couple of flashes of excitement that emphasized how phoned-in some of the rest of it often felt. Jun 2, 2016 Full Review Julia Felsenthal Vogue I agree that Martin Short is a treasure, and I feel much the same about Maya Rudolph. That's why it's somewhat heartbreaking to report that Maya & Marty... seems, at least on first viewing, like a mess. Sep 21, 2016 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media It's during the sketches that the show loses steam. Many of the ideas seem half-baked; they start out promisingly, but don't go anywhere. Rated: 2/5 Jun 3, 2016 Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV It's amazing that people as intelligent as Rudolph, Smart, and Michaels didn't realize immediately that doing a mere variation on SNL would fall flat. Jun 1, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I enjoyed Maya and Marty. It's a fun show for the summer off season. It was also nice to see some comedy. No other network was trying anything funny this summer. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Many laugh out loud moments. An instant classic. It connects in a way SNL (which has too many agendas and a less that stellar cast) no longer does. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Wonderful show. Please bring it back Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member LOVED IT!!! I'm sorry to see it end. Definitely had a Carol Burnett feel to it, which made it all that more awesome. Going to miss you, Maya, Marty, & Keenan!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I've watched a few episodes and so far I'm very impressed. It is like the digital shorts and Saturday Night Live and this has a lot of great content. I especially enjoy the Jiminy Glick sketches which was a character that used to be on Comedy Central 15 years ago. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Get new writers because the cast and guests are awesome. Don't waste good talent with bad story lines. It's painful to watch.
