When 'Esquire' asked the Second Gentleman what Maya Rudolph should include in her impression of his wife, Vice President Kamala Harris, Emhoff was adamant that she needs a 'good Doug character'—and he already has a few actors in mind.

Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff offered some hilarious suggestions for which actors should play him on Saturday Night Live when asked by Esquire what actor and longtime repertory player Maya Rudolph should include in her impression of his wife, Vice President Kamala Harris.

Emhoff was asked the following question, which he read aloud:


"Maya Rudolph has announced that she will return as the Vice President on SNL. Is there anything she should include in her impression?"

Emhoff smiled, and named some top Hollywood hunks in his response:

"Yes, they need a good Doug character. So, I'm thinking Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, Chris Hemsworth, you know, people who look exactly like me [laughs]."

You can hear what he said in the video below.

Rudolph, for her part, loves playing Harris.

Speaking on a live episode of The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter podcast, Rudolph said it's "terribly exciting to be associated with, I'm not going to lie," pointing out that Harris' campaign is one of the first times a presidential candidate has looked like her.

Rudolph noted that she hesitated when former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, whom she once parodied, was mentioned, reflecting on how she didn't think it was one of her stronger characters. She explained that back then, she rarely portrayed political figures because there weren't many who looked like her, which was simply the reality at the time.

She said:

"It wasn't that I wasn't good enough to play them; I didn't look like them. So you could not have paid me any amount of money to believe that this would be anything that I would be associated with; someone who's running for president of the United States."
"It's incredible. So I hope it works out; it would be cool."

Saturday Night Live has confirmed that Rudolph, who has been on the show for the better part of 25 years, will return for more guest spots during Season 50.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
