Amy Poehler got her start on Saturday Night Live in 2001, delivering laughs and nailing her impressions of Kelly Ripa, Hillary Clinton and Sharon Osbourne. In 2004, she became a co-anchor of Weekend Update with former SNL star Tina Fey and now Late Night host Seth Meyers. Poehler left the NBC series in 2008 and made a name for herself as comedian and actor, starring in films like Inside Out, Baby Mama, The House and more. Poehler has also produced several TV series, directed a film, and released a book. Not to mention her Golden Globe winning performance as Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation.
In honor of Poehler's birthday, we taking a look back at some of her most hilarious skits on SNL.
Happy Birthday, Amy!
