Maya & Marty

The 2016 American television variety show, created by Lorne Michaels, is a blend of comedy sketches, musical performances, and celebrity appearances. Hosted by Maya Rudolph and Martin Short, both former cast members of Saturday Night Live, NBC carried the show over six weeks in 2016, between May 31 and July 12, for six episodes. Each episode featured guest stars such as Tom Hanks, Miley Cyrus, Jimmy Fallon, Larry David, Steve Martin, Tina Fey, Emma Stone, and others. Regular performers included Kenan Thompson and Mikey Day. The show was filmed at Studio 6A in NBC Studios, New York City, the same location as Saturday Night Live. Despite its star-studded lineup and variety of segments, the show received mixed reviews from critics, who noted its similarity to SNL and a lack of originality. Nevertheless, "Maya & Marty" was remembered by viewers for its warm atmosphere, the sincerity of its hosts, and vibrant musical performances.
