Amy Poehler is in her sixth season on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE and her third as the co-anchor seat of “Weekend Update.”
Renowned as “a brilliantly inventive sketch comedian,” (Entertainment Weekly, 11/19/05), Poehler boasts an impressive arsenal of outrageous characters, from the hyperactive “Caitlin” and one-legged reality show contestant “Amber” to a manic host of “Good Morning Meth,” Poehler has also contributed memorable impressions of Kelly Ripa, Avril Lavigne, Sharon Osbourne, Paula Abdul, Senator Hillary Clinton, Sharon Stone and Michael Jackson.

Poehler joined the SNL cast from the Upright Citizens Brigade, a sketch/improv troupe originally formed in Chicago.
Poehler and the U.C.B. relocated to New York where they had a sketch show on Comedy Central for three seasons on which she was both a writer and performer. In addition, they opened a theater currently regarded as the premiere sketch/improv comedy venue in New York City. Poehler and the U.C.B. were featured in A.S.S.S.S.C.A.T.: IMPROV an improvised comedy special on Bravo.

Upcoming features for Poehler include: BLADES OF GLORY, alongside SNL alum Will Ferrell, Will Arnett of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT and Jon Heder of NAPOLEON DYNAMITE. She will appear in the upcoming MR WOODCOCK opposite Billy Bob Thornton and Seann William Scott and SOUTHLAND TALES for director Richard Kelly (DONNIE DARKO). She’ll also voice Snow White in the eagerly anticipated SHREK THE THIRD. She was seen on the big screen in TENACIOUS D IN ‘THE PICK OF DESTINY with Jack Black, the hit comedy MEAN GIRLS opposite Lindsay Lohan and Tina Fey, and her other credits include: DEUCE BIGALOW: MALE GIGOLO, WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER and ENVY.

Poehler has made memorable appearances on television ranging from LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN (as recurring character "Stacey," Andy Richter's little sister), ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT (playing the wife to real-life husband Will Arnett), WONDER SHOWZEN and UNDECLARED.
