Amy Poehler

Last night was The Best of Amy Poehler on SNL. It was a hilarious collection of her best sketches. I wish they showed more. She is a wonderful comedienne. One of the sketches they showed involved a Poehler character named Kaitlin, a 10 year old ball of energy. Poehler played the character to absolute perfection. She WAS Kaitlin. Hilarious.


Another notable skit was Bronx Beat where Poehler and the hilarious Maya Rudolph played two whining New Yawk wives. Very funny.

Amy Poehler, the genius comedienne, who lights up SNL every weekend, and has created some hilarious movie characters, will be leaving the show for maternity leave in November, and she will not be coming back. She will be working with the American creator of The Office on a new series that she will star in. I'm so sad. She is amazing on SNL with her hilarious impressions (especially Hillary Clinton) and great comic timing. Well, maybe this will make her even more popular, but still this is a great loss for SNL.

P.S. She and her husband, funnyman Will Arnett, are such an awesome couple. I love him. She is so lucky. Grrr.
