Comedic actress Maya Rudolph gets approached every day by fans wishing she was still on Saturday Night Live.

Rudolph compared the situation to when Sarah Palin was running for vice president, and Tina Fey was given the task of impersonating the former governor: “She had to.”

Rudolph reunited with former SNL alum Seth Meyers on his Late Night show and was asked to improvise her best Rachel Dolezal. Rudoph did so with aplomb, saying, “Good thing I have my Rachel Dolezal wig with me. I keep it in my purse.”
