Hey everybody! Look at me! I’m an overly excitable TV writer! My headline told you that Amy Poehler is returning to “Saturday Night Live”! And she is! Totally! EXCLUSIVE!!! Oh, except it’s not “Saturday Night Live,” but the SNL “Weekend Update Thursday” that leads into Poehler’s “Parks and Recreation.” And only for two weeks.
In conclusion, Amy Poehler actually isn’t returning to “Saturday Night Live” at all. It’s a two-episode guest stint on another show to promote her current starring vehicle. But man, wasn’t it fun to break out into a breathless sweat for no reason?

God, I can’t wait to watch them both laugh at their own jokes again. It’ll be just like old times!
For those of us in college the whole weekend-on-Thursday thing makes sense, but for you old guys it’s completely irrelevant.
/Then again it’s always been, since it’s an unfunny version of The Daily Show.
Wow. My sarcasm meter just exploded in my face. Excuse me while I go clean up now.
Does this mean her show is failing as well?
SNL ruined her…she was the shit on Upright Citizens Brigade
Who’s Amy Poehler?
“NBC is bringing in the big guns to help launch its new Thursday night comedy lineup this fall. Actually, more like big gun: Amy Poehler.”
What, she get a masectomy?
