-Take it in, Maya! Feel it. Do you feel the love right now?
-I feel the love! -Maya Rudolph.
-I almost sat -- I almost sat right here.
-Yeah, you did.
We got rid of that part of the couch.
-What happened to your couch? Did you downsize?
-We got rid of that part -- We're downsizing here.
So, yeah, now we have -- It's more kind of like a love seat.
-The love seat. -Yeah.
-It's a love -- Hi, audience. Thank you for being here.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Yeah. Isn't that amazing?
-This is really nice. It feels like --
It feels like the before times. -It does, right?
-You remember the before time? -I do remember the --
"The before..." Is that what you call them? The before times?
-Yes. -Yes.
-The before times, yeah. -The before times.
-How is the family? How is everybody?
-Everybody's great. I brought them out for this trip
'cause we haven't been anywhere.
You know, we haven't traveled in a year.
And my family -- Like, my kids really love
"Saturday Might Live" now.
So it's funny. -Pearl?
-Well, Pearl, you've known the longest
'cause I had her when I was on the show.
But she doesn't remember.
Like, I said we were coming to the show, and she said,
"Jimmy Fallon knows who I am?"
I was like, "Jimmy used to hold you."
-Yeah! Pearl! I sang to you!
-This is, like, our first real, yeah, "vacation."
-Wow. -I know.
-Because you were coming back and forth,
L.A. to New York, to do Kamala Harris, which --
Congrats on the Emmy, by the way.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Thank you. Thank you.
Yeah.
-Did you get -- Did you receive the Emmy?
'Cause I know you didn't get one in person.
-I finally did. It took a little while.
They were doing some very, like,
COVID-friendly engraving, I guess.
I guess when you go to the Emmys and you get an Emmy,
they do it at the party and you wait at the party.
I don't know. But, yeah, mine was sent to my house.
And I was really excited, and the kids were so excited,
and they opened it up, and the first one I got
was for "Big Mouth." And we open it up --
-That's right. Your voice.
-Yeah, but I didn't know that it said
the name of the episode that you're on, on the Emmy.
So I was like, "I got an Emmy. It's got my name on it."
And it's like "Maya Rudolph"
and the episode, "How to Have an Orgasm."
I was like, "Great."
[ Laughter ]
-Kids, uh, yeah, hi.
[ Laughs ] Wow.
There's a conversation right there.
I wanted to ask you because, obviously,
some way, we end up talking about Prince on the show.
-I know. I know. It's a staple, I think, right?
I can't, like, look across the room at Quest and not --
It feels -- It feels right. -Do you have --
-A lot of Prince things happened in this building.
-Yes. That's correct. -Yeah.
Did you have Pearl when Prince was musical guest?
-You know what? I was on maternity leave actually when --
I didn't know when I was coming back,
but I was fully, like, brand-new baby.
I think she was about three months old.
And then I found out that Steve Martin was going to be the host
and Prince was going to be the musical guest.
And I was like, "I'm up."
-"I'm up." -Got on a plane.
-"I'm up!" -We brought Pearl.
Like, she was, like, still a loaf of bread.
She was so small. And we flew out here.
Brought my breast pump, like, brought, like, everything.
I mean, you know, when you have a brand-new baby,
it's very sexy.
-Wow. It sounds sexy, yeah. -Yeah. No, but it --
Yeah, brought everybody. It was really exciting.
-See Steve Martin and Prince. -Oh, my God. I mean.
That's like a Maya Rudolph --
Baby Maya dream sandwich.
-Do you ever get any memorabilia or any --
Do you have any Prince stuff? Or, like, a --
-I -- I am lucky enough
that, like, now it's known that I love Prince,
so, like, it's not a secret anymore.
Like, everybody knows. "Hey, you like Prince."
Like, okay, great.
And someone gave me -- A friend of mine gave me his belly chain.
I have his belly chain. -Wait. From the --
-From his belly.
-Yes, of course. That's where he wore it, around his belly.
-Yeah, you know, like, yeah --
In the "Mountains" video when he's got --
You know, when he's got the little pants and the thing.
-And the vest? Is that the vest look?
-Yeah, and, like, the little good --
It's, like, the bolero jacket -- -Yes, bolero jacket.
-And the hat. -Oh, no!
-The good meats right here. There's a little cutout.
And there's, like, a little gold. Yeah, that.
-You have that? -I have it.
And I wear it around my neck
'cause it does not fit around my waist.
-I don't know whose waist it would fit.
I mean, Prince, I guess. -Just one person.
-Just one human being. That's wild.
-I take it and go like this. [ Smooching ]
-Oh. Come on. You miss him.
I want to say congrats because here you are
on the cover of another magazine.
-Oh, thank you. I'm on the fold. Yeah, look at that.
-Look at this. This is the "Vanity Fair."
[ Cheers and applause ] -She really got down there.
She really got down there. -Look at this.
This is Maya Rudolph. This is -- Oh, sorry.
-I'm known for my splits, apparently.
-Now, I did not know you could do a split.
-I can't. -Okay, there you go.
-Those are not my legs. -Those are not your legs.
Good. All right. Good.
-No, I think my dad was like, "Wow."
Like, um...
-Yeah, Dad, no.
-I don't know how to do the splits.
Nor did I ever know how to do the splits.
Even when you're, like, a kid and you just, like, drop it.
-Yeah. -You know, kids are just like,
"Watch this. Boof."
-Yeah. -I was not that kid.
-You were never that kid? -I was like, "Watch this. Err."
-Ugh! -Oi!
-Oi! -Oi!
-"Oi." I love just hearing your voice.
And I bring this up because, obviously,
you won the Emmy for "Big Mouth,"
but now you're in a new movie.
-Yeah, an animated movie. -Perfect for you.
-Yeah. -I love it.
-Yeah, I got to say, I like the animated movies
also 'cause my family genuinely enjoys them.
But, yeah, it's a movie called
"The Mitchells Versus the Machines."
It's a kid's -- really cute family movie.
Like, weirdos -- like, a family of weirdos
that end up doing a cross-country drive,
like, a family road trip to take the daughter to college,
but they end up, um, uh, saving the world.
-Yeah. Why not? -Yeah.
-Why not? That's April 30th on Netflix.
-Yeah. -So check that out.
But, then, this weekend, "Saturday Night Live."
-Yeah. -You're back. You're home.
-I'm home. I'm home. [ Cheers and applause ]
Really, honestly, like, it's so nice to be there.
-Yeah. -First of all,
this building feels very good during these strange times.
Feel very safe here.
But we were here -- You and I were here
for very strange times in this building.
-Yeah.
-We were here during September 11th.
We were here during the anthrax that was in the building.
Remember that? -I was in the build--
I actually came into work that day.
-You brought the anthrax. -No. I did not bring anthrax.
That is a rumor. But I did go to Starbucks.
I came like everything was normal.
Like, "Duh-da-da." I got Starbucks.
