You might remember AnaGasteyer from her iconic 'Schweddy Balls” SNL skit, but now she's bringing that same fun, festive Christmas spirit to a new holiday album (and her former co-star Maya Rudolph makes an appearance!).
,” she says. “I start the Friday after Thanksgiving and just let it rip. I love parties. I love shopping. I love window displays. I love— every Rankin/Bass is out. I love a Messiah sing along. I love it all.” And she’s happy to indulge her sweet tooth. “I can withhold on Halloween and definitely on Easter and Valentine’s Day, but when the holidays come around, the culinary form that it takes is so awesome,” she says. “There’s booze and sugar. And of course there’s ham, too.
There are also plenty of friends around, and in Gasteyer’s case, they just so happen to be incredibly talented ones. So when she was working on, she knew that she had to recruit her pal Maya Rudolph to sing on one of the songs. “Maya is a great friend, and she’s also an amazing harmonizer,” says Gasteyer. No surprise there, as Rudolph is the daughter of singer Minnie Riperton. “We sang together all the time ongirls are great singers — but Maya is always game.
Rudolph isn’t Gasteyer’s only former cast-mate to make an appearance on the eight-episode series, which drops on Dec. 6. Rachel Dratch also plays a part in the heartwarming tale. “She is fantastic, and so hilarious,” says Gasteyer. “There’s this theatrical element to the whole thing, so it was important to have people who were great at comedy and just good improvisers. Rachel and Maya are phenomenal friends and phenomenal comedians. I am very lucky to have both things in both of them.
