Amy Poehler sets date to exit "SNL"

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Amy Poehler will be leaving "Saturday Night Live" after the November election. Poehler told Men's Vogue that she will go on maternity leave after the election and won't return to NBC's late-night sketch show after giving birth to her first child. Instead, she will focus on her upcoming primetime NBC series, a spin-off from "The Office."

The comedienne appeared on the season-opener of "Saturday Night Live" last Saturday, playing Hillary Clinton to Tina Fey's Sarah Palin.

1. Maybe she'll do a guest appearance from time to time n/t

2. I like her, but I don't think much of her Clinton

You have to do more than dress like her to call it an impression. She didn't seem to really try to do her voice or mannerisms. Watching her next to Tina, who was really "doing" Palin, not just looking like her, really brought it out I thought.

4. Yeah, she went for a caricature that wasn't really like Hillary at all.

SNL did a terrible job with the Hillary and Obama impressions.

3. Here is a link to the SNL Palin/Clinton skit

I still hurt from laughing.

5. I don't watch SNL on a regular

basis anymore so I don't know how good her Clinton is.
But she looks like she could do a really good Cindy McCain.

6. God I love Amy Poehler!

I can't explain exactly why. It's just one of those things...

7. that means Clinton can't run again becuase nobody does her like Poehler
