NY Post Finds One Man Who Sides With Fort Hood Shooter
Weekend Update, the longtime staple of Saturday Night Live that sends up the news stories of the week, began last night with a breaking exclusive of its own: co-anchor Amy Poehler had just given birth to a baby boy. Alongside husband Will Arnett, Poehler delivered her first child "Archie" early Saturday evening. Archie Arnett came in at 8 pounds, 1 ounce and both mother and child are reported to be in good health. Poehler was not expecting to miss last night's show and had been rehearsing up until Friday. Her delivery means in all likelihood that her final episode of SNL was last week, where Poehler got the opportunity to shine with a rap number alongside a dancing Sarah Palin on a night that scored the highest ratings for the show in fourteen years.

Man, she was working up until her due date? She's one tough broad.
Mazel tov.
Now that's going against the grain. Forget all the ridiculous made-up names like Shaniqua or Tarrazz (or P. Diddy). Go with something easy to remember and spell but still unique like "Archie"! Not even in the top 1000 anymore. Probably not even in the top 5000. Although the poor kid might get a few "jughead" jokes at school.
AMY POEHLER KICKS ASS!!! TALK ABOUT THE SHOW MUST GO ON...AND SHE WENT OUT ON TOP WITH THAT RAP...I'M POEHLER...I'M OUT...
WELCOME BACK MAYA RUDOLPH!!!
That will be the funniest kid in the WORLD with those genes.
bitch is hardcore! rapping and spitting like a mad fiend just 7 days before birth. meanwhile, my fat cow of sister was all "help me carry my pre-natal medicine" months before her due date.
Oh come on. You know how many women work as long as they can, many right up til their delivery date? You men are such wimps. If youse got pregnant, it'd be 9 months of 100% paid sick leave, plus a month bed rest after, and another year off with full pay.
But, someone above is right...Archie is bound to be one funny kid! And, a cutie, to judge by his parents.
I hope Amy comes back to SNL from time to time, like Tina Fey. She's great.
I hope that she does at least one more good-bye spot on Weekend Update before the season is over.
this kid's savior-funny status will fix the economy. can't beat this kind of momentum.
As we learned this fall no one ever leaves SNL. They even rolled out Bill Murray. Poehler will be back. But, the Palin rap was a great cap to her run as a regular.
Archie, if picked on, will have the best comeback lines.
that's nothing, sarah palin traveled to texas, gave a speech while her water broke, then took an 8 hour flight to alaska, with a stopover in seattle, landed in anchorage, then drove 45 minutes to wasilla!
Archie is one of those old time names. Definitely not a name I will pick for my child, but it's each to their own I suppose.
Hey, it could have been worse. She could have used the long form of the name, "Archibald."
SNL didn't break the news - TMZ did.
And her last show wasn't last week, it was 3 days ago.
