Amy Poehler is funny. Too bad she can't be Andy's little sister anymore.

I hope the pairing works, but mostly I'm glad they didn't feel it was necessary to pair Tina with another male partner.

What if it's Amy dressed up as Jimmy, that would be funny for a skit or two.

Poehler is one of the few funny people on the cast. This should be good.

I am looking forward to it, but her voice is a little on the shrill side for me.

Fixed.

AP should have a very good faux news delivery. Sounds promising. As long as it's not the Fat Albert Nitwit.

This is great for the show, now if they get some better writing the show might be good again.

Doesn't sound like a good idea to me... but I'll keep my mouth shut until I see how this goes. Tina's good, I don't know about Amy...

Jimmy Fallon is the worst thing that ever happened to SNL and especially Weekend Update...Im sure this will be a lot better...though nothing can top Kevin Nealon.

I think Amy has some very funny characters but I don't think her natural charisma is right for weekend update.

I like Amy, she's funny and she has good energy, but I don't know if she has the right tone for WU. But I'll hope for the best.

There were just having this argument on E!'s, "101 Greatest SNL Moments".

I liked Norm.

Dennis Miller maybe, but in regards to just Weekend Update, both him and Norm McDonald are THOUSANDS of times better than Jimmy Fallon. He just ISNT FUNNY.
