Holy hilarity! Thursdays this fall just got funnier. “SNL” alum/comic genius Amy Poehler will return to her comedic anchor seat alongside Seth Meyers for “Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursdays.” My all-time favorite “SNL” skit took a hit when Tina Fey and Amy left the show, but the Thursday night special that began during the presidential election is back. And hopefully, the Poehler-punch will bring it back to its original level of awesomeness. “Weekend Update Thursdays” starts September 17, before the premieres of “Parks and Recreation” and “30 Rock.” If you squint hard enough, you can pretend that Amy and Tina are both behind the anchor’s desk, together again.

Hooray! More Amy Poehler can only be a good thing (and we need more of her husband, too).
And this will bring back the OBVIOUS sexual tension between her and Seth Myers.

Yess! Their weekend updates are hilarious! My favorites are when they do “Really!?” and focus on some celebrity that made some idiot move that week.
