Amy Poehler Talks About Doing Sketch Comedy With A Baby Bump

Josh loposer — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 07:00:00 GMT

Despite how much Amy Poehler's baby belly added to the hilarity of everything she did on SNL last year, she's not looking forward to doing sketch comedy while pregnant again any time soon.

“It wasn’t [easy], because when you’re really that big and you’re doing sketch comedy it’s like wearing a sombrero in every scene,” Amy said during a Thursday visit to The Today Show. “It’s really hard to play different people.”

Sure, some of us might miss watching Amy do her thing -- like that amazing Sarah Palin rap -- with a pregnant belly, but it sounds like she's pretty happy to be free of the bump... as I'm sure most ladies are after 9 months.

Not to mention, Archibald "Archie" William Emerson is a lot more fun to play with now that he's out. Though he does wake up a bit on the early-side.

“He’s been up since 4 this morning, so he’s raring to go,” she explained before joking, “He had a little cup of baby coffee."

Amy and daddy Will Arnett wouldn't really let little Archie drink coffee yet, would they?

Amy Poehler Drops Baby Knowledge

Whit Honea — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 21:27:00 GMT

Amy Poehler has been a parent for about 5 minutes (give or take six months), but she already has some pretty good advice for anyone that might be expecting or expects to be ... um, expecting. If this is you, or perhaps your "friend," you should consider clicking over to Strollerderby for a quick dose of enlightenment.

And this is for Amy:

Amy Poehler Is Back - Will Her New Show Be A Hit?

Josh loposer — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 18:01:00 GMT

After taking a few months of mommy leave to enjoy time with her new baby boy Archie, Amy Poeher is back at work, but not on SNL ... sniffle.

Her new show, Parks and Recreation, hits the small screen Thursday April 9th on NBC. Will it bring the funny? So far, critics can't seem to make up their minds on whether the spin-off from The Office (both share the same writers and producers) will become the instant classic that it should be. Some are hailing it as the next 30 Rock, while others are holding their noses.

As an old fan of Upright Citizens Brigade, I'm hoping new mother's return to TV will rock the rabbit ears, er, converter box.

Will Arnett as Father of the Year?

Karl Erikson — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 17:37:00 GMT

Still a new dad to Archie William Emerson, now 5 months old, Will Arnett says that so far dadhood is quite fun. Will, in fact, says, "It's still very early, but I've just been nominated Dad of the Year. Well, I nominated myself."

Archie's mom, of course, is actress and comedian Amy Poehler. Even though he was born in New York City, the whole family picked up and moved to Los Angeles now that Amy is starring and filming in the new NBC show "Parks and Recreation."

Will says Hollywood fits the family perfectly. "Try and keep us off the red carpet," he says. "We go red carpet hunting!" While he'd prefer to raise Archie in New York, he's not too worried.

Amy Poehler: I'm Like Santa Claus and Buddha

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 14:20:00 GMT

Amy Poehler loves being pregnant, and believes all the extra weight is awesome. "It’s really nice. You make people happy," she says in an interview with Elle. "There’s a reason why Santa Claus and Buddha both have big bellies."

But Poehler, who gave birth to son Archie with Will Arnett last year, says it's all downhill after the birth. "As soon as you have your baby, nobody cares about you anymore. They just want to make sure you don’t sit next to them on the plane."

And it sounds like life post-Saturday Night Live isn't just gumdrops and rainbows. Of preparing for her role on her new NBC series Parks and Recreation, she jokes, "I have been pushing a rock up a hill and watching as it slowly rolls back down."

Amy Poehler Raves About Son and New Show

Karl Erikson — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:33:00 GMT

Former SNL superstar Amy Poehler is thrilled to be a momma, and says she can't get enough of son Archie, now 2 months old. "It's amazing," Amy says. "He's a sweet boy. Archie's the best."

Amy and hubby Will Arnett welcomed Archie in October, and the couple recently showed up at the Golden Globes. She wasn't picky about her fancy Pamella Roland gown. "With a 2-month-old, it's nice that something fits."

Next month, Amy starts working on the new NBC sitcom, created by the producers of "The Office."

"We start shooting in February and it's on in April," Amy says. She describes it as "like Tina Turner in Beyond Thunderdome. I am a boss; I have an office. It's a whole different world. It's not a spin-off, it's a whole different place. The Office's Rashida Jones plays my friend."

This will be a big switch for Amy, who recently left Saturday Night Live after 7 years on the show.

As for losing her baby weight, she attributes it to never sleeping. Such is the life of a new parent.

What Does Amy Poehler's Baby Look Like

Who Does Amy Poehler's Baby Look Like?

Sassy Smith — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 12:07:00 GMT

Amy Poehler and husband Will Arnett welcomed their son Archie on October 25 - so who does the little guy look like? Mom or dad? Amy's SNL co-star Will Forte can give us a hint!

Forte said of the six-week-old infant, he "is a beautiful baby." He says he's not sure who Archie looks more like, but added, "he has his own look.

"He's a really cool little kid, the cutest."

Amy said after her son was born she'd be leaving Saturday Night Live and her Weekend Update desk. Forte compared her departure like a "sister leaving to go to college. She won't be in the house anymore.

"It's like a family over there, so it's really tough to see someone go, especially somebody who meant so much to the show, but she's still in our lives!"

Amy said her final goodbye this past Saturday during Weekend Update. However, Poehler will be a working mom - she's signed on for NBC's upcoming Office spin-off which will debut in 2009.

Amy Poehler returned to Saturday Night Live just a month after she and husband ~~Justin Timberlake~~ Will Arnett welcomed little boy Archie.

It had been reported that Poehler was leaving the program, and she is. This coming week will be her last show.

Amy's first words were in the guise of Hillary Clinton and the statement worked for both the actress and the character, "You thought I was gone, didn't you!"

Amy Poehler is looking pretty darn good. The sexy new mama had her son a month ago and is already back in fighting form.

Amy attended a to do at the Natural History Museum in New York City with her hubby Will Arnett. It's a shame that she won't be returning with her talent to SNL, but I hope her new show does well. She's pretty good at dead pan humor.

Are You There, Amy? Text ME!

HerBadMother — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 16:47:00 GMT

Amy Poehler is, like, one of my very biggest girl crushes. And when she did that rap? On that pre-election SNL episode? Mocking Sarah Palin while Sarah Palin sat right there? WHILE SHE WAS LIKE ELEVENTEEN MONTHS PREGNANT? That made me love her even more.

Now that the baby's here, she's no longer rappin' it up at SNL, but at least we can console ourselves with the knowledge that she's watching. And texting! Poehler's SNL costar Kenan Thompson told PEOPLE magazine that Poehler watches the show in bed with baby Archie (dad is comedian-actor Will Arnett), and sends the cast text messages.

Which, cool. Maybe she can send Seth Meyers some tips on how to be funny on Weekend Update.

Angelina Jolie Makes The World A Better Place

trix — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:49:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie recently took a secret trip to Afghanistan where she furthered her role as a Goodwill Ambassador. She takes her role very seriously and has taken steps to insure that the refugee children get the help they need.
Actress Angelina Jolie and a team of 25 powerful law firms are joining forces against the government's attempt to deport thousands of unaccompanied and illegal immigrant children - including hundreds from New York City. Backed by Microsoft Corp., Kids in Need of Defense will provide free legal representation to children separated from their parents. The group will open offices in New York and other several other cities... "These children often have nothing - no money, no support and no family," Jolie said in a statement. "Many end up becoming lost, traumatized, and ultimately forgotten."
"Over the past seven years, I've worked with UNHCR and I've traveled around the world trying to bring attention to refugees," she said. "It's been a remarkable education."

Jolie, who has visited dozens of war-torn countries around the world, spoke passionately on behalf of the victims she's met. "I've seen refugees return to live among the same people who attacked them," she said. "They are returning to the same lawlessness that sent them running in the first place. I've seen aid workers tear up as they put ladies on a bus and say, 'I don't know what we're sending them back to...
"I don't know if the ICC is the answer. And I don't know what type of court is, or what it would need to be to make all of us agree and make it strong enough," Jolie admitted. "But I do know this: No mother who had her children killed in front of her, no young girl sold into slavery, no boy kidnapped and forced to be a child soldier and no young girl like the 3-year-old I met in Sierra Leone, who had her limbs cut off, should be expected to simply forget. No one should have to choose between peace and justice."

Those are powerful words and we can hope that this team of lawyers can make a difference in the lives of these women and children. It will be a great thing to make sure these victims see justice.

Weekend Update: Amy Poehler Gives Birth!

Sassy Smith — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 00:22:00 GMT

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."

Obama on SNL?

Barack Obama is rumored to be the next major candidate to show on SNL. He is slated to appear on November 1st, the last show before the election.

Of course this is based on a blog entry that quotes a Palin aide that quotes a drunk Seth Meyers at an SNL after party, so I don't know how much truth is involved, but it does seem likely.

'Joe The Plumber' Doesn't Understand The Media

trix — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 14:01:00 GMT

Joe Wurzelbacher is mad. So mad in fact, that he is striking out at the media for jumping feet first into his personal life and finances.
"The media's worried about whether I've paid my taxes, they're worried about any number of silly things that have nothing to do with America," Wurzelbacher told the former Republican presidential hopeful on his show, "Huckabee."

What did he think was going to happen? Did he not see what happened to Sarah Palin? She was completely vetted by the gossip magazines so be prepared, it will only get worse before it gets better.

Bigot Bridget Bardot Mouths Off About Sarah Palin

Karl Erikson — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 12:03:00 GMT

Bridget Bardot, who rarely comes out of her house, is coming out to attack GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin. The actress (and bigot) says in an open letter to Palin:

"I hope you lose these elections because that would be a victory for the world. By denying the responsibility of man in global warming, by advocating gun rights and making statements that are disconcertingly stupid, you are a disgrace to women and you alone represent a terrible threat, a true environmental catastrophe."

Bardot continues on, slamming Palin for her stance on Arctic oil exploration and for dismissing the need for protection for polar bears and their natural habitats.

"This shows your total lack of responsibility, your inability to protect or simply respect animal life," Bardot says.

And the "lipstick on a pig" statement? Bardot says, "I know them well and I can assure you that no pitbull, no dog, nor any other animal for that matter is as dangerous as you are."

Bardot, who has been prosecuted before for hellaciously bigoted attacks on Muslims, must think that the world gives a shit what she thinks. Like most actors and actresses, she should really just stick to her job - or ex-job - and speak only the words that are written for them.

Do you think that she should respond at all?
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that a Palinesque tweak to Tina Fey's American Express commercials may be in the works.
Sarah Palin may also appear on NBC's "Weekend Update" as early as Thursday night.

I can't wait to see what the next SNL Palin skit will be. They have been pretty funny thus far.

Join us as we go back to yesteryear, when we were jamming to the smooth sounds of Michael Jackson (when he was still black), Foreigner, and Journey. Big hair, parachute pants, and pretty moose-hunting flute players.

Oh, my. Look at that lovely dress. Cannot WAIT for the interview portion. Something tells me she won't be telling us what she reads.
