After Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris named Tim Walz her running mate for the 2024 elections, social media called on Steve Martin to play the vice presidential hopeful this fall on Saturday Night Live. The actor is now weighing in on social media after he was collectively cast to parody Walz on the NBC show. “I just learned that Tim Walz wants to go on the road with Marty Short,” Martin posted on Threads after fans hoped he would play the Minnesota governor. CNN debated who should play Walz on SNL, citing Vanity Fair, which suggested Martin, Al Franken, Jim Gaffigan, and Jim O’Heir.
