Amy Poehler Will Leave Saturday Night Live

2008_07_amypo.jpgAmy Poehler will be winding down her stint on Saturday Night Live, as she's been cast in the new Office-spinoff- not-spinoff (it's been variously described as a spinoff of the Office or another show from the same creative team, Variety now confirms it's not an extension of the show). Poehler said, "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." According to the NY Times, Poehler, who does a mean Hillary Clinton impersonation on SNL, "will continue to perform on SNL through November or at least until her baby is born." It's been a big week for Poehler--she also received an Emmy nomination for best supporting comedy actress for her SNL work.

    we will look back as many, and yet say with a single tongue: there- there is the day that the laughter died.

    She'll be missed on SNL, but hopefully she'll provide a spark to the Office spin-off.



    As for SNL, Kristen Wiig is ready to become the lead female player. I also think Seth Myers is capable to anchor the news by himself.
