Amy Poehler gets her own Office?

July 16th, 2008 | Category: Saturday Night Live

According to popular rumor, SNL star Amy Poehler is in talks to star in the spin-off series from NBC’s The Office. whether that is true, she’ll be joining fellow SNL alumnus (and former Weekend Update co-anchor and co-star of the film Baby Mama) Tina Fey as part of NBC’s comedy prime-time line-up. No word yet on how Poehler’s real-life pregnancy would affect that situation.

All I can say is: wow, what a brilliant choice. I’ve always been impressed with Poehler’s work since she co-founded the

Upright Citizen’s Brigade (which is still going strong on both coasts). I’ve had the satisfaction of seeing her perform comedy improv a few times and noticed how she is leaps and bounds more talented than most of the other humans on the stage.

If anybody can lead a sitcom, it’s Amy Poehler. whether that news is true, I very much look forward to that spin-off and think it may be one of those rare cases in which the spin-off equals or is even greater than the original.
