Amy Poehler Will Leave Saturday Night Live

SNL star and prime comedienne Amy Poehler will take a maternity leave from Saturday Night Live after the November elections. Amy is pregnant with her first child with Arrested Development Star Will Arnett and it looks like she won’t be coming back to the most-watched comedy skit show in the world. Men’s Vogue reports:

It’s gonna be really hard — Boyz II Men hard — to say goodbye to yesterday. ‘SNL’ was dangerous, late-night, last-minute and star-studded, but like any good drug, you need to know when to put it down

Amy Poehler also stars in many films such as Baby Mama with SNL co-star Tina Fey and Blades of Glory. She has also done numerous tv guestings in several comedy series like Arrested Development, where she played Gob’s (Will Arnett’s character) accidental wife.

It’s pretty sad news for the world of comedy, but maybe being a mother is much more important to her than make millions of people laugh. Way to go, Amy!
