Not now kids, I’m being a mother. Because God loves women and clearly does Lorne Michaelswonderful thing Maya Rudolph back to the server Saturday night liveMother’s Day episode. The mother of four walked onto the stage in a flowing dress only to be immediately surrounded by a reverend Cung Duong And Sarah Sherman. “You are not just a mother, you are one Mom,” Yang said, her voice thick with lingering fear. Sherman repeated, “You have achieved extraterrestrial motherhood.” Cut into Kenan Thompson look like Roach’s Law, ready to host: “This is Maya’s home now. Mother of the Rockefeller family.” When the camera returns to Rudolph, she has stripped down to half her clothes Alien/semi-mermaid cat suit with bustier and mirrored skirt.
What followed was like a bottomless mimosa brunch wrapped in an 80-minute massage, ending with a child-free afternoon in bed scrolling through Ryan Gosling press trash roll. Rudolph strutted across the set in a cat suit, stylishly dressed, flipping her hair and walking down memory lane of all her iconic characters. She pays tribute to her stepmother, godmother, another brother’s mother, dance mother, Octomoms. “What about dog mom?” consufused Chloe Fineman, clutching his little prize papillon. “What about them?” said Rudolph. “And honey, that’s not a dog, that’s one bitch.”

The show opened with Thompson wrapping his arms around his mother, Ann, who had only one grievance about the cold handover to the mothers. “I want to see who will play Daniels storm,” She sighed. Especially shouted Marcello Hernandezmother, looks Cuban Christie Brinkley. Praising the cast’s friendliness, his mother noted that “Michael Che even gave me flowers but the note was just his phone number.” Mikey DayHis mother thanks him for the gift Beavis and Butthead outline. “Now everyone knows I’m Butthead’s Mom.”
Yang’s mother is especially adorable, even as a grandmother brave cat The roast joke was messy. She aptly summed up the point of unity: “We come from all over the country, from all political persuasions, but have one thing in common: We love our children with all our hearts.” Please, please, please grant Mrs. Yang the stamina to make it to the after party, preferably after a quick change into Rudolph’s cat suit.
