After it wrapped, Maya and I were still discussing new ideas: ‘Wouldn’t it be great if …?’ ‘Yeah, we gotta remember that!’”
Rudolph added that she doesn’t think the show is “over”:
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?
I am hoping that NBC Renews Maya & Marty.
My wife and I enjoyed the show. We are fans of both of these talented Actors. A Really Good Variety Show.
Plz bring back Maya and Marty. Luved the show.
Yes bring it back for a second season. I miss those viarty shows and Marty short is hilarious. Both Maya and martin make a good pair. Its so refreshing having a show like that on TV once again. I miss it..
It seemed like the show didn’t attempt a target audience, just blindly shooting, hoping to hit something. Even pure stupid-funny humor has a shred of intelligence to back it, yet there was absolutely nothing to back this stupidity to lend creedence to any concept of humor. The actors certainly tried to make it work, but I think it does come down to bad writing overall. Everyone involved should be ashamed, but not defeated. With better writers and better supporting actors the show could be worth watching.
Sorry to say I thought the show was a fail. It whas crude and not even funny crude. Lacked imagination and quality. Maya and Marty should have done better because they are better. Please do not renew if it will be more of the same
I was looking forward to season 2. I rarely watch tv but this show I made time for. I hope NBC keeps it going.
My husband & I watched every episode & LOVE’D it. We were just commenting & wondering when season 2starts
My wife and I liked the show. Clean entertainment is being replaced with imorrial, demonic and family undermining programs. Thank you for offering a show worth watching.
Please bring it back!. We loved it
Yes, please please please bring it back! I loved the show. Very funny and entertaining. They are sooo talented. I miss Maya on SNL so I was VERY happy to see her in her own show.
I absolutely love this show! Please bring it back !!!
I thought the show was wonderful, funny, very entertaining!!
Please please please bring back Maya and Marty. Laughter is just so much better than all these porno drama series and reality show trash. Finally a show I could watch with my daughter and just laugh. Great medicine before heading to bed and we recite bits from the show everyday…keeps us laughing for weeks.
The show was fantastic and quite entertaining. We really need more shows like this that the whole family can enjoy together. It has something for everyone, so clever, witty, and a real stress reducer! Love, Love, Love!!
I thought the shows were all fantastic! It was reminiscent of Carol Burnett with Harvey Korman and Tim Conway. The guest stars were excellent and I really liked the closing song at the piano. It showcased the talents of everyone involved. I hope they do another run in 2017.
