As a gamer with a deep-rooted love for comedy and a knack for recognizing talent, I must say that both Steve Martin and Jim O’Heir are fantastic choices to play Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on Saturday Night Live. Their unique comedic styles and impressive track records make them perfect fits for the role.
As soon as Kamala Harris declared Tim Walz as her potential vice president, people started guessing who might portray the Minnesota governor on Saturday Night Live when it comes back for its 50th season in 2024. Fans suggested comedians like Steve Martin, Jim Gaffigan, Jim O’Heir, and others as contenders to play Harris’ vice presidential candidate. Now, the stars of “Only Murders in the Building” and “Parks and Rec” have humorously responded to these fan suggestions, staying true to their distinctive styles.
How Steve Martin Responded To The SNL Dream Casting
It’s quite plausible that Steve Martin would be a fitting choice for this role, given his strong association with Saturday Night Live. Previously, the show has featured cast members, alumni, and close friends portraying politicians, such as Alec Baldwin impersonating Donald Trump over an extended period and Melissa McCarthy reprising her character as Sean Spicer on numerous occasions. With Martin being a member of the five-timers club and having hosted the show 17 times throughout its history, his experience makes him a strong contender for this opportunity.
Enthusiasts eagerly expressed their excitement about the potential of Martin joining Maya Rudolph (returning as Kamala Harris on SNL this season). Predictably, he offered a fitting reaction to the buzz, sharing a post on Threads.
I just learned that Tim Walz wants to go on the road with Marty Short.
It’s perfectly fitting for Steve Martin to make a joke about trading places with Walz, and it’s especially in line with his persona because he involved his long-standing friend and comedy collaborator Martin Short in the joke too.
In simple terms, the fourth season of “Only Murders in the Building” is set to air this summer, which means that Martin can’t help but think about Steve Martin, and the joke he made was not only amusing but also a delightful nod (for me at least) to their whodunnit.
Steve Martin’s background and comedic talent make him an excellent choice for portraying Tim Walz on Saturday Night Live. Yet, there are numerous other actors who fans might envision in this role, including a particularly humorous actor from the show Parks and Rec.
How Jim O’Heir Responded To Stories About Him, Tim Walz And SNL
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m proud to have portrayed the unforgettable character, Jerry Gergich, on the iconic Parks and Rec cast. It seems that the infectious energy from my role has carried over into real life, with many news outlets buzzing about me being in the running for the part of Tim Walz.
CNN posted a comparison of four actors who people suggested could look like Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Among them were Martin, Al Franken, Jim Gaffigan, and the actor from “Parks and Recreation,” Nick Offerman (also known as Ron Swanson). Interestingly, Offerman’s photo wasn’t as polished as the others’, which is just the kind of casual, down-to-earth vibe that Jerry (Offerman’s character in Parks and Rec) often gives off. In response to this image, Nick Offerman himself commented on social media platform X:
I don’t mind being in the mix but that’s the best pic of me that they could come up with? LOL
You have the opportunity to revisit past seasons of the classic comedy sketch show, SNL, and Season 50 when it premieres, by signing up for a Peacock subscription and enjoying the shows on demand.
He makes such a valid point, and he did so in such a kind and silly way, much like Jerry would.
All in all, O’Heir is an excellent choice for this role. Although he may not possess the Saturday Night Live (SNL) background of individuals like Martin and Franken, his work on Parks and Recreation, which is part of the NBC family, demonstrates that he can stand his ground alongside comedic heavyweights such as Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, and Chris Pratt. I believe he would add a delightful Midwestern charm to the role, much like he did in the cherished mockumentary, making it an exceptional opportunity for him.
As of now, we’re yet to learn who’ll portray Tim Walz, with the revelation likely happening during the premiere of Saturday Night Live on September 28, which marks the start of its 50th season. Given the show’s track record of casting exceptional actors for political roles and considering this being a milestone season, it’s quite possible they’ll enlist top-tier talent to play key presidential characters. It’s even speculative that comedians like Steve Martin or Jim O’Heir could be chosen to impersonate Kamala Harris’ vice presidential pick.
