You might remember Poehler and Arnett in the oddly incestuous brother-sister ice skating team in the 2007 film Blades of Glory.
Poehler and Arnett have been married for five years and are expecting their first child together this year.
Amy Poehler is well-known for her Saturday Night live skits, but has also acted in films, the most recent being “Baby Mama”. Poeher stars as Angie Ostrowski-a surrogate mother for the child of Kate Holbrook played Tina Fey, a successful single businesswoman.
But Amy Poehler has decided to leave Saturday Night Live, and says she will not be returning after her maternity leave.
“It’s gonna be really hard — Boyz II Men hard — to say goodbye to yesterday,” she says. “
SNL was dangerous, late-night, last-minute and star-studded, but like any good drug, you need to know when to put it down.”
But Poehler isn’t quitting, she has signed on for the upcoming NBC “Office” spinoff, which will air this next year.
“I can kind of confirm that I will be working in some capacity on that show,” she said in July. “I don’t really have any other details yet.”
