What will become of SNL’s ‘Hilarious Hillary’? Amy Poehler, who wowed fans this weekend as Hillary Clinton alongside Tina Fey in the Sarah Palin skit, has decided to leave Saturday Night Live for greener pastures, or rather not come back after her maternity leave is through. By greener pastures we mean her own new show, the mysterious Office spinoff. “SNL was dangerous, late-night, last-minute and star-studded,” said the comedic star, “but like any good drug, you need to know when to put it down.” But this is one drug we’re not sure we can live without!
