AMY POEHLER is in her sixth season on “Saturday Night Live” and her third as the co‐anchor of “Weekend Update.” 2007 will also be the year that Poehler hits the big screen with several feature films. In addition to “Blades of Glory,” Poehler will star in both New Line Cinema’s “Mr. Woodcock” opposite Billy Bob Thornton and Seann William Scott, 24 and the Warner Bros. comedy “Spring Breakdown,” opposite Parker Posey. May 18th, 2007 will see Poehler lend her voice to the successful “Shrek” saga, when “Shrek the Third,” comes out. She will also appear in “Fast Track” with Zach Braff, Jason Bateman and Amanda Peet, and “Southland Tales” for director Richard Kelly (“Donnie Darko”). Renowned as “a brilliantly inventive sketch comedian” (Entertainment Weekly, 11/19/05), Poehler boasts an impressive arsenal of outrageous characters, from the hyperactive Caitlin and one‐legged reality show contestant Amber to a manic host of “Good Morning Meth.”
Poehler has also contributed memorable impressions of Kelly Ripa, Avril Lavigne, Sharon Osbourne, Paula Abdul, Senator Hillary Clinton, Sharon Stone and Michael Jackson. Poehler joined the “SNL” cast from the Upright Citizens Brigade, a sketch/improv troupe originally formed in Chicago. Poehler and the U.C.B. relocated to New York, where they had a sketch show on Comedy Central for three seasons on which she was both a writer and performer. In addition, they opened a theater currently regarded as the premiere sketch/improv comedy venue in New York City. Poehler and the U.C.B. were featured in “A.S.S.S.S.C.A.T.: Improv,” an improvised comedy special on Bravo. Other feature credits include in the hit comedy “Mean Girls,” opposite Lindsay Lohan and Tina Fey; “Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny,” with Jack Black; “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo”; “Wet Hot American Summer”; and “Envy.” Poehler has made memorable appearances on television, ranging from “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” (as recurring character Stacey, Andy Richter’s little sister), “Arrested Development” (playing the wife to real‐life husband Will Arnett), “Wonder Showzen” and “Undeclared.” She also was a voice on “O’Grady” and “The Simpsons.” 25 Poehler is married to actor Will Arnett and lives in New York City.
