Amy Poehler will be winding down her stint on Saturday Night Live, as she's been cast in the new Office-spinoff- not-spinoff (it's been variously described as a spinoff of the Office or another show from the same creative team, Variety now confirms it's not an extension of the show). Poehler said, "I can kind of confirm that I will be working in some capacity on that show. I don't really have any other details yet." According to the NY Times, Poehler, who does a mean Hillary Clinton impersonation on SNL, "will continue to perform on SNL through November or at least until her baby is born." It's been a big week for Poehler--she also received an Emmy nomination for best supporting comedy actress for her SNL work.
