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 06/10/2016
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. Go to Full Review Jen Chaney New York Magazine/Vulture 06/02/2016
Unsure of how to distinguish itself as a something wholly original. Go to Full Review Linda Holmes NPR 06/02/2016
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. Go to Full Review Julia Felsenthal Vogue 09/21/2016
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. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 06/03/2016
2/5
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 21 6 funny National Broadcasting Company episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated TV-PG for Infrequent Coarse Language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 07/28/2016 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. See more 07/14/2016 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. See more 07/12/2016 Wonderful show. Please bring it back See more 07/12/2016 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!!! See more 07/09/2016 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. See more Read all reviews
