Please que the violins: the hilarious Amy Poehler is leaving Saturday Night Live.
Poehler tells the new issue of Men’s Vogue that she is taking a break after the November election as she prepares to welcome her first child. The comedian, who generated laughs this past weekend portraying Hillary Clinton in a sketch where Tina Fey played Sarah Palin, says she won’t be returning after maternity leave.
“It’s gonna be really hard…Boyz II Men hard to say goodbye to yesterday,” she says. “SNL was dangerous, late-night, last-minute and star-studded, but like any good drug, you need to know when to put it down.”
Poehler won’t be off the small screen altogether. She has signed on for NBC’s upcoming spin-off of The Office, set to air next year.
Next up: The Emmys. She is nominated for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series for SNL.
