Maya Rudolph-Martin Short Variety Show Officially Set at NBC
NBC has officially picked up to series the long-in-the-works variety show hosted by “Saturday Night Live” alums Maya Rudolph and Martin Short.
Tentatively titled “Maya and Marty,” the show will be produced by “SNL” creator Lorne Michaels. The number of episodes, premiere date and format have not yet been decided.
