Amy Poehler Gives Birth, No More SNL

Huffington Post | October 25, 2008 08:20 PM



Amy Poehler had a baby boy Saturday says TMZ, and thus she's done with Saturday Night Live:

Sources tell TMZ Amy Poehler has been in labor all day and just had a baby boy.


We're told Seth Myers will do Weekend Update all by his lonesome, and there's no word on whether her "Bronx Beat" skit with returning cast member Maya Rudolph -- who will also be playing Michelle Obama tonight -- has been totally scrapped or not.

Maya Rudolph is reportedly going to play Michelle Obama tonight.

The heavily pregnant Poehler gave what may be her greatest skit performance ever last weekend with her Alaska rap (at link).

She has a show deal with NBC and told Mens Vogue she's not returning to SNL after her maternity leave.

2. Congratulations to Amy Poehler and family.

What wonderful news!! :-)

I will miss her on SNL, though. :-(

3. She's awesome...can there please be another Amy Poehler out there?

Please?

24. That's asking a lot.

I like Kristen Wiig a lot in the current cast, but my love for Amy Poehler goes back to The Upright Citizen's Brigade.

Best wishes to you and your family.

5. Congratulations to Amy and Will!

Hmmm.... Think that boy will have a sense of humor?

[TahitiNut]

20. Eh?

7. I thought she looked like she was ready to pop last Saturday

Congratulation Amy, you will be missed.

[uncle ray]

13. she looked ready to pop when the season began.

she looked 14 months pregnant more recently. i realize she must be quite petite.

18. LOL! My mother said today, Amy was going to have that baby during the show..

I'm glad she didn't and wish her and her family the best.

25. She was so big I thought she was faking it!

I thought she was wearing a "pregnant suit" or something, she did look like she was about to explode!

I haven't been following the situation, but what does this mean? It means she will be taking a leave of absence from the show? Or that she will NEVER come back? I assumed she would take a leave of absence if she was pregnant, but why completely leave the show? Had she already decided to leave, and just set the birth of her baby as an arbitrary deadline to do so?

I really like her, she's one of the main reasons to watch :(

9. Sounds like SNL needs to get off their ass and hire some new talent.

11. Congratulations to Amy.

What a trouper, right up to the end. :)

12. Loved her rap last week

She gave it everything she had!
Congrats to her and her husband.

[goodgd_yall]

14. I didn't know she was pregnant

She sure did that rap well for being so far along! I'll miss her not being on the show.

[Liberal_in_LA]

17. She was wearing a black loose fitting maternity smock.

[JI7]

15. i thought her greatest skit was doing Hillary Clinton

the rap thing was ok but not as good as when she does hillary.

[ArmedAmerican]

16. "When's your baby due?" "Yesterday ;)" "Perfect!"

Good luck Amy!

[Contrary1]

19. Great comment:

Oh come on, you can keep doing SNL! Just drag the baby around with you everywhere like Sarah Palin does. I'm sure a 1-day old would LOVE to have bright, hot lights blasting in his face!


No?

Sigh.

[pansypoo53219]

21. only one?

looked like twins.

[FatDave]

22. I think she's a fairly small woman.

So she looked particularly huge by contrast.

[fortyfeetunder]

23. Good for Amy.

Will miss her but glad she has a leading role in motherhood!
