Man, I love Maya Rudolph.

[@livingabstraction2206]

Maya Rudolph truly is an amazing comedic actress

[@bobanonymous7593]

Love her!

[@MonasticSolace]

Living Abstraction Then why didn't I laugh? If she was that amazing I would have laughed.

[@16soccerball]

MonasticSolace guess you laugh at amy schumer.

[@LWOPP]

Sorry, we can't help you.

[@twilightgardenspresentatio6384]

she looks amazing with that new thick butt

[@Maryam0]

Her description of how Ivanka speaks is so perfect. I think she thinks the whispering makes her seem calm and classy, but it's just so weird and fake.

[@danilomuller1790]

Her voice changed, it was not like that. I do not think it's a "fake voice" I believe your voice really has changed...

[@op3129]

+Marie Zeroe Oh my stars. You can't possibly think that everyone from an Ivy talks the same. Look at Trump. That isn't exactly the same as JFK. And I'm not 'jealous' of Ivanka. Only someone inordinately small would think 'wealthy' is the only qualification for admiration ... or jealousy.

[@sierraevans520]

...I am studying at an Ivy League school...just wondering...do I look the part?

[@CBlargh]

Mariam H. I heard once that people who do the weird, whispery, babytalk voice are more likely to have been molested as children... which would make sense considering Mr. Trump's _repulsive_ sexual objectification of Ivanka... :/

[@Maryam0]

+Marie Zeroe Except she didn't always talk like that. Try watching old interviews of her, she did not talk like that before, her voice was fine back then. The weird whispering she does now is new. And not everyone who criticizes her is jealous and ugly. Grow up.

[@abba48]

spot on Ivanka 😂 love maya rudolph

nj.joh IT IS NOT SPOT ON! Maya sounds like a valley girl while Ivanka sounds classy and well spoken!

[@mohsalt6591]

[@missoctober8859]

"sexy secret" is the perfect descrip. of how she talks.

She said that laughing aside as if she were hiding a "sexy secret" and not that she speaks as a "sexy secret"

[@juliaowen8337]

She is a joy. Her presence really loosens Seth up, too. Would LOVE to eavesdrop on her and Amy Poehler...

[@captlanc]

I always thought Seth Meyers is vanilla, but he is kinda fun... in a vanilla way. His interviews at least, are very comfortable to watch.

[@bobanonymous7593]

He does take a minute to get used to, but he's great once you do.

[@williammartin2593]

He has a great deadpan also.

[@General12th]

Vanilla is ideal. We've already got chocolaty Stephen Colbert and deliciously strawberry John Oliver -- Seth nicely rounds out the trilogy.

[@BlushGush]

squallofreeves I think what you're reacting to is, Seth is smart. And that subconsciously comes across to the audience. Can't say that about all the late night hosts right now.

[@jackiesingleton2351]

squallofreeves,,,,. He also doesn't usually use the little reference cards all talkshow hosts use. Most hosts have a little blue card with questions and stuff to talk about, and relevant facts. But he just uses his brain (a novel approach). I didn't notice it for awhile but it is pretty impressive that he actually knows what they are talking about without any cards. P

[@DaddyTre65]

"Seth, where mah brefakst?!" Maya is hilarious!

[@6seasonsandamovie_]

Seth didn't realize it, but that was the best impression of Hugh Grant he's ever done. True story.

[@RHCole]

If any of the folk who do 'Whose Line' are ever on your show, I demand the Basket O'Wigs gets brought back. Especially Colin Mocherie.

Minnie Riperton is her Mom the lady that sang the old school song Lovin you. I found that out & was like wow.

[@mickeyjudge7298]

Maya was a little girl when her mom recorded Loving You, and she was in the recording studio at the time. Listen to the very end of the song, you'll catch Minnie singing to her-- "Maya, Maya, Maya"

[@marshhen]

Ivanka's voice is absolutely affected and unnatural sounding. She speaks and walks like a very self-conscious person. History will not be kind to her. Complicit and corrupt. She is always performing her role instead of just acting like a competent qualified serious person, like her father.

[@skipdow3]

These talk show hosts many times, completely miss the boat on Maya Rudolph. Years ago, I heard her seriously sing a song. She has a beautiful voice, possibly due in part to her mother being Minnie Ripperton from decades ago. It was truly great, as there was no comedy used. The other thing is a tidbit mainly for guys,. I guess. Probably 20 years ago when she was a regular on Saturday Night live, they were doing a skit that she was in. At some point, there was a 1-2 second clip, of her full length standing there in a bikini. Sort of a slight smile , then it was gone. At that time, in that bikini, she was a 10 in anyone's book. The clip was made in the studio, so there was no beach background. The skit wasn't related to the bathing suit, or vice versa. It was just there, and it was gone. It was a clip that guys would love a poster of , to hang in their rooms. Seriously.
