Amy Poehler Crack [PATCHED] Up Snl Weekend
In this 2003 SNL sketch written by Tina, we got what might be the best commercial parody the show has ever done. Co-starring Amy, Maya Rudolph and Rachel Dratch, the four had us cracking up, especially when the tagline rolled around: "For this Mother's Day, don't give Mom that bottle of perfume. Give her something that says, 'I'm not a woman anymore...I'm a mom!'"
Amy Poehler Crack Up Snl Weekend
While the bulk of the trailer is just watching this group of friends get drunk on wine and have a rollicking good time singing karaoke and taking molly, there is some conflict. Amy Poehler's character, channeling a bit of her fastidious Parks and Rec persona Leslie Knope, gets upset when her carefully planned-out itinerary for the weekend is not as well received as she had hoped, and the group tries to get her to loosen up and just enjoy the trip.
"How much fun is it working here?" she asked Jost and Michael Che. "Do you guys just sit around cracking each other up all day? I used to watch this when Seth Meyers did it by himself with no one else and he made it look really easy."
With apologies to Lorne, it appears to us that Tina gave Jimmy both sex and class. And Jimmy gave Tina the gift of cracking up at his own jokes. Either way. Chemistry. They had it. And damn it, it worked.
Fey and Poehler faced off on the big screen in the 2008 film "Baby Mama." In it, Fey played a type-A single wanna-be mother and Poehler her irresponsible surrogate. The film topped the box office its opening weekend.
Fey and Poehler hosted the 2013 Golden Globes in a move that had everyone asking, what took them so long? Their opening set the tone for a successful show with its mix of sweetness and sarcasm. Ironically, Poehler cracked a joke about prior host Ricky Gervais having to host the show three years in a row as punishment for his offensive behavior.
Let the laughs ensue! Dynamic duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are reuniting this weekend to host Saturday Night Live. The besties, who star in the upcoming film Sisters, have proven in the past that when they work together, they can produce nothing short of comedic gold. From starring on SNL as featured cast members during the early 2000s, to sharing the screen in films like Mean Girls and Baby Mama, along with hosting the Golden Globes, these ladies always have us ROTFL (Rolling on the floor laughing).
It's hard to forget the laughs they brought in "Mean Girls" and the weekend update desk at "SNL," as well as a slew of other appearances and sketches along the way. Let's revisit a few gems and get pumped for Sunday's festivities, shall we?
Nowhere has the myth about female comedians being an oxy-moronic term been debunked more than Saturday Night Live, which has long offered ladies a chance to crack wise and crack people up. (Granted, women of color haven't always had it quite as easy cast-member-wise, though the show is working on it.) In fact, McCarthy's SNL hosting duties have gone a long way towards establishing her as a comic force to be reckoned with. So in honor of the Bridesmaids star's cover story, we're highlighting 15 other female hosts who've done wonders with the gig. Some are ex-Not Ready for Primetime Players, some are comediennes, and some are pop stars or actresses better known for their dramatic skills. All of them, however, have left audiences laughing themselves silly on a late Saturday night.
Have we been transported to Pawnee? That's what it felt like this past weekend, when Aubrey Plaza hosted Saturday Night Live and she welcomed surprise guest, Amy Poehler, as the two reprised their roles from the hit sitcom Parks and Recreation.
Judging solely by how it looks in the released photos to date, Legend of the Seeker looks quite cheesy. But that's not always a bad thing... the question really is: will it be cheesy good or cheesy bad? Cheesy good sci-fi/fantasy can have dialogue and events so nonsensical that your head swims if you try to think about them, but is also so fun and entertaining that the cheesiness doesn't matter. Cheesy bad fantasy/sci-fi on the other hand is all the nonsense, none of the fun. I'll be tuning in this weekend to see which category Legend of the Seeker falls into.
Brotherhood starts its third season this weekend. It's a great show, and I highly recommend it if you're a fan of the crime drama genre. It's a mesmerizing look at a family with two brothers who aren't entirely what they appear to be to other people. They both live in a morally ambiguous state, and you're never told to root for or against anyone -- all the characters are just presented as is. Everyone has flaws, and even the most deeply flawed characters have redeeming characteristics that make you like them. It's the most complex interpersonal drama on TV, and pretty much no one's watching it. If you get Showtime on Demand through your local cable or satellite provider, now's a perfect time to dive in and check it out.
