MAYA RUDOLPH, RASHIDA JONES IN PROP 8 VIDEO: All-star cast comes together for musical about Cali's end to gay marriage.(December 5, 2008)
*Maya Rudolph, last seen playing Michelle Obama in a return to "Saturday Night Live," joins Rashida Jones and others in a new Internet video protesting the passage of California's Proposition 8 banning gay marriage. Posted Wednesday on FunnyOrDie.com, "Prop 8: The Musical" was conceived and written by Marc Shaiman, the Tony Award-winning composer of "Hairspray" and "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut." He wrote the piece in a day, recorded it the next and shot it in a single day last week, reports the Associated Press. The piece also stars Jenifer Lewis, Craig Robinson, Jack Black (who plays Jesus), Neil Patrick Harris, John C. Reilly, Andy Richter, Margaret Cho, Alison Janney and others in a song-and-dance pitting the religious right contingent of Prop 8 supporters against those who voted against it. Though Jesus doesn't bring the two sides together, Harris has better luck. He argues gay marriage could save the economy, singing: "Every time a gay or lesbian finds love at the parade, there's money to be made." Prop 8: The Musical
