Ever since Maya Rudolph left Saturday Night Live in 2007, fans have been missing her spot-on impressions, just as they've missed Tina Fey's Sarah Palin.

But thanks to some interesting news over the past few weeks, the comedienne decided to bless her fans with one more impression while appearing on Late Night With Seth Meyers at the behest of the show's host, Seth Meyers. And who did he request? None other than Rachel Dolezal, the former NAACP Spokane chapter president who made headlines recently for saying, "I identify as black."

"It happens to me every day," Rudolph explained. "People are like, 'It's too bad you haven't been on SNL since 2007. Like you have to play this lady.'"

Meyers then aired a clip of Dolezal getting interviewed by a reporter in Spokane, who asked her if she was African American. Instead of answering yes or no, Dolezal said she, "didn't understand the question." She then proceeded to walk off-camera mid-interview.

Afterwards, Meyers and Rudolph impersonated the exact interview. The Bridesmaids star even brought along her "Rachel Dolezal wig" for the occasion. Launching right into the mock interview, Meyers asked "Dolezal" the same questions, with Rudolph staring blankly and taken aback the entire time.

"Is your father an African American?" Meyers asked.

"Wait...I don't really understand the question," Rudolph responded, stuttering her way through the answer while looking severely confused.

"Are either of your parents black," he continued.

"I don't ugh. I mean ugh," Dolezal answered, pointing to her wig.

When the interview was over, Rudolph joked, "I think America really missed out. I'm so glad I brought my Rachel Dolezal wig. I always keep it in my purse."
