After it wrapped, Maya and I were still discussing new ideas: ‘Wouldn’t it be great if …?’ ‘Yeah, we gotta remember that!’”

I could perform with Marty for the rest of my life. I don’t feel like it’s over.”

What do you think? Did you watch Maya & Marty? Do you think NBC should renew the variety show?
My husband and I have really enjoyed Maya and Marty. We never watch network shows but this one has really gotten our attention! Please renew!
I love this show!
I have not enjoyed a show like this since Carol Burnette. Even my 14 year old granddaughter was laughing as hard as I was. THis show was a breather of fresh air and May and Mart were absolutely seamlessly funny together. This show needs to continue and I believe their viewing numbers will grow. Please do not give up on it.
Thank you
So nice to have a show that is fun and makes me smile! Renew!
I come from the time period of variety shows like sony and cher,glenn cambell,smother’s brothers etc. I enjoyed them then and i enjoy them now with Maya and Marty. There needs to be a little fine tuning ,but for the 1st season i think they did quite well. Both are excellent comedians and they hold the audience with a smile. Jimmney Glickk is Hysterical , quick witt. I would very much like to see there show next season. Thank you,M. Donahoe.
Maya and Marty show is hilarious. I loved it! I hope NBC renews the show. There were too few episodes in season one.
Loved this show! Love the musical numbers; Jiminy Glick had me rolling on the floor.. I hope it’s renewed.

I have really enjoyed the Maya & Marty show as it was such a variety of segments to the show and done so well that it was most entertaining. The many guest stars that were on the show were great and so fun to watch always in the guests performances. I would really look forward to a 2nd season of the show it was that good and would be exciting to see what they pull-off in the second season. There were times I laughed plenty which is one emotion we need more of today as it actually relieves stress and… Read more »
