Maya Rudolph is so underrated. Even when her characters are zany and way-outta-left-field, she always imbues them with a believable humanity. Her timing is impeccable; and of course, that marvelous singing voice of hers. Give Maya Rudolph more work!

Hurricane Tammi with an “i” has already ravaged some of the most beautiful parts of New Jersey: the Solstice Sunglasses Outlet, the Morey’s Piers Wild Mouse Ride, Frank and Maria Spinelli’s gorgeous marble deck..
You guys. I can’t. This is seriously the funniest thing ever, from the writing to Maya’s delivery. The Leonard Nimoy song, “Kathryn Perry,” “gabagoo,” “TO WHAT END” .. I just can’t.
@@AuntieLux I disagree it is so good to start that you wish you had full versions of the songs. I mean don’t you wanna hear a full version of that’s what friends are for with New Jersey specific lyrics?
@@jayblechman2503 I'm not saying that Maya Rudolph is not a GREAT comedic actress - HER version of Dionne is LEGENDARY but it's no where near accurate and that's what makes it so great - it's so bad it circles back to brilliant. I would liken it to Leigh Francis's Craig David...
It's the tiny little things that Maya Rudolph does that make her so god damn funny. Like @0:30, when she says "Nimoy" and moves her mouth horizontally back and forth. She's just so talented at capturing those little intricacies in how people's faces move 🤗
Maya Rudolph is a genius. She manages to make her characters grounded while still winking at the audience. The tiny little things she does feel simultaneously subtle and like big swings. I’ve watched this video many many times and find some delicious new micro-moment every time. So excited she’s hosting SNL again next week!
i love her soooo much. her whole career she’s challenged the boxes people say only black women can fit in. i know what it’s like to be the only person who believes in you. and now she’s a master of her craft! ❤
I know she's been around for awhile but this was the first time she ever made me laugh my guts out - this is GOLD! She was a pure comedic genius in this episode!
@@dominicclark3774 Of courseee, I was more referencing the stuff Dionne would post on Twitter although I don’t think I was aware of her time on celebrity apprentice so maybe that’s why. Dionne’s voice on got to be real though will never fail to take me tf out.
@@reprolover11 LOL. ALWAYS NICE TO FIND A FAN!!! Dionne's voice takes me tf out EVERYTIME too lol its perfect. But nah, I wasnt suggesting anything other than a watch if you hadnt seenm it ever. I try to spread guaranteed laughter when i can lol
Jonah, thank you for this! I literally have to watch it at least once a day.....it never gets old. I am forever singing 'When you break up with Leonard Nimoy'! Maya is brilliant!
Drag race girls,this is how you exaggerate a real person for comedy. Maya looks absolutely nothing like Dionne Warwick and Dionne acts nothing like this,but you know this is supposed to be Dionne without even having them tell you it’s her and it’s absolutely hilarious.
The art of drag is a different medium. You didn't need to write this comment but you chose to anyway for what? Let other people have their fun, no need to be rude.
We’re stronger than the hurricane From Piscataway right up to Wayne New Jersey’s gonna be okay Even though Chris Christie floated away Stronger than the surge of the mighty ocean You’ve got to muster up the cour’ge to face all your emotions Reach out, take my hand Get in the boat, buh bye dry land ‘Cause we’re stronger than the storm
Maya Rudolph can take something as basic and boring as a telethon for a hurricane and made it hilarious. “Why would Xi Jinping want to flood my basement and rust my bowflex? To what end? TO WHAAT END?!” “We’re gonna sing a song that was interestingly enough written by no one. hiT iT!”
I still to this day can’t say or hear “to what end” without immediately following it with 🎶TOWHATEND🎶
SAME 😭
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣I can't get enough of Maya.
It was from a song but I can remember the name of it Whitney Houston sung it
Mine is "Hyt-it"

I spat my rice at "Bruce Springsteen with a moving rendition of Rain Rain Go Away"
I hope it does. I hope it does.

“To What End?!”
♫ “To~ What End?” ♫

She deserved an Emmy for this more than for SNL.
I love that they never showed “Leah Michelle’s “ face
i rewatch the episodes she's in because they make me die; I love when she eats the baby corns on the cruise ship with Titus LMFAOO
