After serving on the cast of SNL for 7 years (from 2001 – 2008), Poehler went on to star as Leslie Knope a in the hilarious NBC comedy series “Parks and Recreation” and that show will see its third season later this year.
We can’t wait too see what Amy has up her sleeves for her one-shot SNL hosting gig! We’re really hoping for at least one Hillary Clinton impression though!!
