NBC has announced a series order for Maya and Marty in Manhattan, an hourlong live variety show starring Saturday Night Live veteran Maya Rudolph and comedy legend Martin Short. Lorne Michaels will executive produce. Kenan Thompson, who has been a cast member on Saturday Night Live for 13 seasons, will also star on the show, which will be aired live each week from NBC's headquarters at 30 Rockefeller Center in New York. The series will premiere Tuesday, May 31 at 10pm, immediately following the two-hour premiere of summer's #1 reality series, America's Got Talent.
The series will feature sketches that spoof current events, celebrities and topical trends, as well as musical performances. Among comedy circles, Rudolph and Short are considered two of the best sketch performers in the business and this collaboration will create a comedy one-two punch unlike any other on television.
