Amy Poehler delivers a baby boy

Posted: October 25th, 2008, 8:46pm CDT by Hot Momma

Tags: Amy Poehler

Congratulations to SNL’s Amy Poehler and her husband actor Will Arnett (above). Amy has had her baby, a baby boy, born earlier this evening (Saturday). Archie Arnett weighed in at 8 lbs., 1 oz. According to TMZ, Amy Poehler had been in labor all day. Obviously, Amy will not perform on “Saturday Night Live” tonight. She last performed just two days ago on the special “SNL Thursday,” and was rehearsing for tonight right up until Friday, where she was supposed to do a recurring “Bronx Beat” sketch with Maya Rudolph, who will be returning to SNL tonight to play Michelle Obama. It’a a bit sad that this might be Amy’s last show for a long time, since she was always planning to leave the show this fall. But she’s obviously on to bigger things at home first so best wishes for a happy, healthy baby and Baby Mama.

Sarah Palin’s Saturday Night Live appearance, featuring Mark Wahlberg

Posted: October 19th, 2008, 4:47am CDT by Ceilidh

Tags: Amy Poehler

The long awaited appearance of Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live began with Tina Fey. Tina started the show spoofing Sarah Palin at a press conference where jokes were made about Palin not answering questions and about the McCain/Obama debate on last Wednesday.

Camera-cut to Loren Michaels with the real Sarah Palin who pulled of a pretty decent joke with Michaels about 30 Rock not being well known enough for Palin to spoof Fey. Enter Mark Wahlberg angrily looking for Andy Samberg. It was no surprise that whole deal was a set up, but I’m really hoping it was set up with this much forethought: A whole week of taking everyone for a ride just to tie in to the next joke… when Loren directed him to Sambergs dressing room and he stormed off, Michaels explained to Palin that Marky Mark wasn’t happy with the show’s impression of him.

Palin kind of snorted and said “Tell me about it.”

Then, in an inspired cameo, Alec Baldwin came on, mistaking Palin for Fey, asking Michaels how he could possibly let their wonderful Tina Fey on stage with that horrible Sarah Palin. Feigning embarrassment when Michaels introduced him to Sarah, Baldwin recovered by telling her that she was way hotter in person, to which Sarah responded that Stephen was her favorite Baldwin.

Then, in what one could have feared would have caused the collapse of the world as we know it, Tina Fey and Sarah Palin passed each other, as Fey skittered offstage when told Palin was on her way on to announce that she wouldn’t take anyone’s questions and “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”

Palin didn’t say much, and certainly didn’t interact the way Hillary Clinton did, or show as much comedy talent as McCain, but she was understatedly amusing. She reminded me of my junior high school teacher humoring the 8th grade graduation crowd after taking a ribbing by the valedictorian in his speech. Clearly not thinking it was as funny as everyone else does, but not wanting to look like she doesn’t have a sense of humor about herself.

The introduction sketch wasn’t the last we saw of Palin on the show. During Weekend Update, Sarah reappeared. She declared she wasn’t going to do the bit they rehearsed, so Amy Poehler launched into the rap, obviously meant for her all along, that mentioned Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, “Drill, Baby, Drill”, the Bridge to Nowhere, and shooting moose. Cast members danced behind her, dressed as Eskimos, a moose (which was shot), and Palin husband, Todd. Sarah sat at the anchor desk bopping along to the music and doing that thing she does with her mouth. You know, when she pushes her top lip up with her bottom lip? Yeah, that.

Palin finally got her chance to imitate Tina Fey by using the sign-off Fey had delivered for years, ala Chevy Chase, as one of the anchors of Weekend Update, “I’m Sarah Palin. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.”

On a few Palin-unrelated notes, Adele was phenomenal live, Amy Poehler is hugely and adorably pregnant, and I’m pretty impressed with Samberg and Wahlberg pulling off this week long joke on the media.
Tina Fey won’t keep doing Sarah Palin after election, even if she wins

Posted: October 14th, 2008, 6:04am CDT by Ceilidh

Tags: Amy Poehler

Tina Fey’s name recognition has gone through the roof in the last month due to her amazingly accurate spoof of Republican vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Not that she needed it, her TV show, 30 Rock, is a hit and her movies have done very well, but most would feel whatever gets their face in front of more eyes can only be a good thing. Not so much for Fey, though. Tina has declared her intention to drop out of the part, and life on earth, if Palin is elected in November.

Tina Fey opens up about spoofing Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin on “Saturday Night Live!” “If she wins, I’m done. I can’t do that for four years. And by ‘I’m done,’ I mean I’m leaving Earth,” Fey tells TV Guide.

The “30 Rock” star says she’s taking her Palin impersonation week by week. “Election time is always good for [SNL] and this is a bonkers election. And that lady is a media star.”

[From Entertainment Tonight]

It’s universally accepted that Tina Fey was born to play the role, and even Palin supporters recognize the uncanny impersonation, so it would be at least 4-years of job security if there were a McCain/Palin administration. SNL parodies tend to get snarkier once a candidate is in office, too, and Tina is clearly not a fan, so she could really skewer Sarah if that were to happen.

Not that she hasn’t enjoyed the opportunity. She says she likes portraying Palin, and that Sarah is really fascinating and likeable. Fey says she especially liked doing the two sketches with Amy Poehler as Katie Couric and Hillary Clinton. But, it looks like Tina no longer subscribes to her “Bitch is the new black!” philosophy she had when she supported Hillary in the primaries. Who would have thought Tracy Morgan would have things figured out over Tina Fey?

Amy Poehler will leave SNL in November

Posted: September 16th, 2008, 1:41pm CDT by MSat

Tags: Amy Poehler

First Tina Fey exited, and now her good friend and writing partner Amy Poehler will leave Saturday Night Live for both personal and professional reasons. Poehler is due to give birth to her first child with fellow comedian, Arrested Development star Will Arnett, in November. At that time, she has stated she will not be coming back to SNL, but instead will focus on her new mom role, and will also star in a new spin off of the NBC hit show “The Office.”

Amy Poehler is spreading her small screen wings and flying away. She says she will take a break from “Saturday Night Live” after the November election to give birth to her first child.

“It’s gonna be really hard — Boyz II Men hard — to say goodbye to yesterday,” Amy says in the new issue of Men’s Vogue. ” ‘SNL’ was dangerous, late-night, last-minute and star-studded, but like any good drug, you need to know when to put it down.”

And it gets worse, or better, depending on your point of view. She’s not coming back to “SNL” after maternity leave. Instead Poehler is preparing to star in her own NBC series from the executive producers of “The Office.” At least we have that to look forward to.

And there’s always Poehler’s animated kids’ show “The Mighty B!” in which she portrays overachieving Honeybee scout Bessie Higgenbottom. We have yet to tune into it, but we may have to now.

[From The LA Times]

By the way - “The Mighty B!” is hilarious.

Fey and Poehler broke down some major gender barriers at “Saturday Night Live,” a show that has been a notorious Old Boys Club since day one. For decades, talented comediennes like Gilda Radner, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jan Hooks were relegated to second-banana status - until the Fey-Poehler writing powerhouse took over. With both of them gone from the show, it looks like the mantle will be passed on to funny lady Kristen Wiig to keep things going. Poehler will definitely be missed- her daffy characters, such as “Amber, the One-Legged Hypoglycemic” and her dead-on impersonations of such celebs as Hilary Clinton, Sharon Osbourne and “Project Runway” winner Christian Siriano are classics.

Amy Poehler Set to Leave SNL

Posted: September 16th, 2008, 12:32pm CDT by Spicy Pants

Tags: Amy Poehler
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..

Amy Poehler Is Going To Be A Baby Mama!

Posted: April 28th, 2008, 2:44pm CDT by Elisabeth

Tags: Amy Poehler

Amy Poehler and her husband, Will Arnett, are "expecting their first child," their rep Lewis Kay confirmed to X17. This isn't the only good news for Poehler - Baby Mama, Poehler's movie with Saturday Night Live co-star Tina Fey, snagged the number one spot at the box-office this past weekend. Poehler plays a surrogate mother in the film - how ironic! The couple have been married since 2003, and the baby is due in late fall. Congrats! Wonder if Tina Fey is gonna be the godmother?

Baby Mama premiere featuring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler

Posted: April 24th, 2008, 4:04pm CDT by Celebitchy

Tags: Amy Poehler

The Saturday Night Live alums were at The Baby Mama premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival last night to support Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Among the familiar funny faces were Molly Shannon, Chris Kattan, and Rachel Dratch - who has found a job after mentioning her unemployment plight earlier this month. The film is about a career woman played by Fey who hires a goofy irresponsible woman, Amy Poehler’s character, to be her surrogate. There is some speculation that Poehler might be coincidentally pregnant since she’s wearing this flouncy dress, but I think it’s just the style of the dress. Poehler, 36, has been married to Arrested Development’s Will Arnett, 37, since August, 2003, and they have two dogs but no children yet. Her co-star Tina Fey, 37, has a daughter, Alice, who is two and a half.

Fey told People Magazine a funny story about how she gained weight quickly during her pregnancy by eating too many donuts:

“Somewhere during my pregnancy I gained something like nine pounds in two weeks and my doctor was like, ‘You know what it might be? Are you drinking a lot of juice?’ I was like, ‘Yeah. That must be it.’ ” said the 30 Rock Emmy winner, 37. “I was eating like a box a day of Entenmann’s donuts.”

Here’s the trailer. It looks amusing but not incredible, and is getting mixed reviews.

The Coming Tina Fey Backlash [Movies]

Posted: April 23rd, 2008, 2:35pm CDT by carnevale

Tags: Amy Poehler

Everyone loves Tina Fey, and she hopes it stays that way. Her new film Baby Mama opens the Tribeca Film Festival tonight, and in an interview with Reuters today she admits, "You would be foolish to think, 'Oh everyone has really discovered that I am truly, truly wonderful.'" Her anticipation of her own backlash, aside, when a star argues that she is "not entirely selling out," you know the fear of the 'lash is in her heart. Baby Mama's opening weekend faces steep competition from stoner comedy Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay, and with her NBC show 30 Rock moving into a new time slot, Fey's distinctive appeal needs to last a bit longer. Here are the troubling signals that Tina's edgy humor and general cuteness may be waning.

Tina has cannily avoided becoming too ubiquitous during her climb to the top, and though we'd be crazy if we didn't give her a fighting chance to stay in our good graces forever, she needs to make changes to ensure she isn't caught up in a wave of negative energy. Cue the chanting from the Britney episode of South Park:

Too busy to write her own material. When the guy who wrote the second two Austin Powers movies is writing and directing your latest vehicle, it's natural to get that lump in your throat. Breathe easy; those movies may have sucked, but they made $598 million in theaters worldwide. With that said, you can't offer monetary compensation to a backlash, it feeds purely on cynicism, jealousy and Twizzlers.

The amount of staged photos taken of her causes a temporal rift in Earth's atmosphere. She's on a fake city street in Entertainment Weekly. She's popping open a bottle of Grey Goose in Vanity Fair. She's sprawled across a couch for Reuters. Yes, she looks fabulous, but Tina, save your best for reputable publications like Marie Claire.

Even the good reviews start to sound a little bad. It's to be expected that the Catholic News Service finds Baby Mama "morally problematic"; if they didn't, they'd just be plain "News Service," and no one wants that. The New Yorker's review, where Anthony Lane argues that Tina "hasn’t yet made up her mind how funny her body is meant to be" augurs nothing positive, even though I barely understand what Lane is saying. We'll reserve further judgment until seeing Baby Mama ourselves, but it may have trouble topping MILF Island no matter how funny it is.

Her cute interview style has become a little over the top. Tina is the master of the quippy interview. Recently, she's done 5,000 of them, and it was inevitable that she would come across as cloying in a few, as when she took the fight to Jon Stewart, or informed an interviewer that "my daughter wore a power suit and had a teeny tiny resume made of candy." OK, that's pretty funny, but jokes about not having time to put lotion on? Take a nap and then write down some good interview anecdotes on notecards for the next one, will you Fey?

Tina, we volunteer to stop this backlash before it really gets rolling by way of sitting next to you during interviews and whispering, "That's cute, but stop it," in your ear whenever you stray off message. Even if your new movie disappoints, we will always have this sterling clip of you and Amy getting parental with Sigourney Weaver to cherish.

Moonlighting: Brian Williams Is Hilarious, Has Boobs

Posted: August 27th, 2007, 9:00am CDT

Tags: Amy Poehler

Last night, NBC News anchor Brian Williams appeared in the mildewed basement of the Upright Citizen's Brigade theater. He was doing standup—well, a comedy monologue—which was really confusing (that it was happening, not in its substance). Also he has a mighty rack. Some sort of steroid usage was responsible for that. They've since gone down a bit. Why was he there? Apparently he is good friends with SNL's Amy Poehler.
In one of his monologues, Williams explained his reaction to news that Seth Myers (who was performing and on stage through all of this) was joining the cast of SNL (and thus Williams' parent company NBC). "I was like, 'who's tapping that?'" Who indeed?

The audience, usually a combination of comedy geeks and their parents (N.B.: I brought my mom when she was in town too), was oddly famous. David Schwimmer, Rashida Jones and Amy Smart [Ed. Note: Yeah, I had to Google her too] were on hand.

The only other thing we really remember of Williams' monologue is that we think that he casually referred to a vagina as a j.j., which is great. He also mentioned that he had read on Gawker.com that one can refer to vaginas as "snooches," which he particularly liked and which also means he's a big fan of The Astor Place Porn Vendor.

[UPDATE: For the record, the steroids thing isn't nefarious —he was on a six-day regimen for a ruptured disk. It's not like he's sex-transitioning or preparing to cheat in the Olympics or anything.]
