NEW YORK — Comedian Steve Martin, whose career dates to hosting the oddball NBC television show Saturday Night Live way back when, was asked to play the role of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Martin said no. To SNL producer Lorne Michaels, Martin said he’s not an impressionist: “You need someone who can really nail the guy.’” Martin reportedly suggested his New York theater buddy Martin Short.
Walz look-alike? Well, Steve Martin’s balding a bit and white-haired.
