Weekend Update: Amy Poehler Gives Birth!

Posted by Sassy Smith

 

 

I'm guessing SNL star Amy Poehler won't be making it to Weekend Update tonight, since she's doing her own weekend update - the 37-year-old has just given birth to her first child!

Updated with details and baby's name!

According to TMZ sources, Amy has been in labor all day, but she and husband Will Arnett are now the proud parents to a son!

Amy's TV partner, Seth Myers will do Weekend Update by himself, but I'm sure he can handle it. 

No other details of the birth are available yet, but we'll keep you posted.

Congrats!  And although we're happy for Amy, the birth of her baby, means no more SNL (waaaa!) but last weekend she was hilarious, heavily pregnant doing her rap routine on Weekend Update, with Sarah Palin at the desk too.  Check it out HERE!

*Updated* Amy and Will have named their son Archie Arnett, who was born in New York and he weighed 8 lbs., 1 oz.  Their rep Lewis Kay said, "Amy, Will and Archie ar all healthy and resting comfortably."

BAAAH! Exciting!  Congrats to one of my favorite couples!  Can't wait to hear what they named him.  I knew she wouldn't make it to next week's show ("her last").  Only four weeks until my boy is due.....

I'm going to miss her SOOO much. But I'm very happy for her. Amy is the first SNL lady to have a boy during her tenure on the show. Ana Gasteyer had little girl Frances, Maya Rudolph had little girl Pearl, and Tina had little girl Alice. So a little boy is a fun suprise.

Archie is growing on me a little bit.
