A Saturday Night Baby

Have you been wondering, as you watched Saturday Night Live the last few weeks, whether Amy Poehler was going to have her baby right there on national television? Well, the Weekend Update anchor missed showtime by a few hours, welcoming her and husband Will Arnett’s first child, Archie, yesterday evening. “Mother, baby and husband are all healthy and resting comfortably,” NBC said in a statement. The news became part of Poehler’s skit last night, with co-anchor Seth Meyers announcing, “Amy Poehler is not here tonight because she’s having a baby. Now here are tonight's other top stories...” The comedienne will be back at SNL for guest stints after her maternity leave, though not as a regular.
