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..

After only two months of marriage Chris Kattan, 37, and his wife, Sunshine Tutt, 31, have split up.

The couple have been together since 2005, but it seems that marriage wasn’t kind to the former SNL star and his model bride. They were married June 28th.

A rep for the couple insists there are no plans for a divorce, at least not yet. He told Us magazine, “Separated for the moment. No plans for divorce at this time.”

The father of former Saturday Night Live cast member, Cheri Oteri, was murdered in Nashville this weekend.

Thomas Oteri, 69, was stabbed to death Saturday night by his roommate and longtime business partner, Richard Fagan, 61.

Fagan was also arrested for DUI Saturday night, after the incident, and told officers that he had an argument with Thomas at approximately 9pm and had cut him ‘across his body’ before leaving.

Oteri’s body was not discovered until Sunday afternoon when a friend visited.

Fagan has been charged with homicide.

It’s not surprising that producers of Saturday Night Live have no desire to work with Ashlee Simpson again.

After her infamous lip-syncing, hoe-down fiasco, Papa Joe has been desperate to get Ashlee back on the show to redeem herself. Now that Ashlee has a new album coming out [Bittersweet World] he figured the timing was perfect.

Joe contacted the show’s producers who promptly told him “no”. Apparently Ashlee was such a pain in the ass last time she was on, producers have vowed to never work with her again.

Of course Ashlee’s spokesperson is telling a completely different story. “We’re not doing ‘SNL’ because they’re dark the week we are here in April and there were no other opportunities later in the year.”

Or next year. Or the year after.. Thank you, SNL.

It looks like Mariah Carey will be Janet Jackson’s replacement this weekend on Saturday Night Live.

Jackson was hospitalized on Monday with a terrible case of the flu and is too ill to make her scheduled appearance.

Please, please please SNL, make fun of Mariah!

In case you missed it, here is Hillary Clinton on last weekend’s Saturday Night Live.

TMZ reported that Hillary was totally cool with the entire SNL skit and didn’t request any script changes, which was shocking. She had a good time with it and left shortly after her appearance.
