Hillary Clinton, oops, Amy Poehler's leaving 'SNL'... Say it isn't so ...
Amy Poehler is spreading her small screen wings and flying away. She says she will take a break from "Saturday Night Live" after the November election to give birth to her first child.
"It's gonna be really hard -- Boyz II Men hard -- to say goodbye to yesterday," Amy says in the new issue of Men's Vogue. " 'SNL' was dangerous, late-night, last-minute and star-studded, but like any good drug, you need to know when to put it down."
And it gets worse, or better, depending on your point of view. She's not coming back to "SNL" after maternity leave. Instead Poehler is preparing to star in her own NBC series from the executive producers of "The Office." At least we have that to look forward to.
And there's always Poehler's animated kids' show "The Mighty B!" in which she portrays overachieving Honeybee scout Bessie Higgenbottom. We have yet to tune into it, but we may have to now.

Why is this news? *shrug*
The Mighty B is one of the best new cartoons on. It's actually funny!!
Too bad to see her go. At least we still have the adorable Casey Wilson to watch every week. If only she was funnier...
ahhh! im superrr sad:'(
In REAL WORTH WHILE news today: The world is spinning in that direction and the DJI droped 500 points today and will not come back for a bit unless the Fed heats up the credit markets. Reading about white trash in Hollywood wont get you ahead in life. Further, losing weight is about eating less and working out more. Quit it with the 27,000 diet fads. get your fat butt on a Stairmaster now. Eventually as you become more successful from doing rather then reading, real news wont be infected by malware such as this lousy story.
Nobody cares about SNL anymore. They must have the worst writers on TV. I can't believe it's still even on the air! SNL is simply living off an old reputation. I hate to admit it but MadTV is a much better show.
If you have young kids, they will LOVE watching The Mighty B (I love it, too, and Amy's voice is so recognizable and funny as Bessie)!
People actually still watch this SNL drivel? Now THAT'S sad....
The Mighty B! really is funny. It is the next Spongebob in the way all of those other cartoons that appeared since Spongebob's beginning were meant to be but aren't.
i'd hit it
