Enjoy Amy Poehler on SNL for the next couple months, because after the election in November, she’s outta there.
What I am really bumming about is no more Weekend Updates with her! My favorite part of the show, and she does a great job at it, damnit.
But you can’t blame Amy for leaving, her first child will be due soon after.
On the breakup with SNL Poehler says,
“It’s gonna be really hard — Boyz II Men hard — to say goodbye to yesterday. SNL was dangerous, late-night, last-minute and star-studded, but like any good drug, you need to know when to put it down.”
She does have an upcoming show on NBC however, an ‘Office’ spinoff that will begin airing next year.
“I can kind of confirm that I will be working in some capacity on that show. I don’t really have any other details yet,” she said.
Damn, first Tina Fey and now Amy. The snarkiest, cattiest, geeky-chic women are gone. Those are going to be some big shoes to fill..
