Despite an offer from Lorne Michaels, Steve Martin says he will not portray vice presidential candidate Tim Walz on “Saturday Night Live.”Not long after Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, picked Minnesota’s Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, social media users began to line up candidates to play Walz when “Saturday Night Live” returns in the fall. Martin got into the spirit of things Tuesday, posting on Threads: “I just learned that Tim Walz wants to go on the road with Marty Short.”“Saturday Night Live” producer Lorne Michaels must have been listening because he called Martin on Wednesday morning with an offer. They’re gonna find somebody really, really good. I’d be struggling.”AdvertisementThe 50th season of “Saturday Night Live” is set to premiere Sept. 28.
