Poehler joined the SNL cast from the Upright Citizens Brigade (U.C.B.), a sketch/improv troupe originally formed in Chicago. Poehler and the U.C.B. relocated to New York where they developed a sketch show that aired for three seasons on Comedy Central -- the U.C.B. theater in New York continues to be regarded as a premiere sketch/improv venue.

As an SNL cast member, Poehler's over-the-top characters and memorable impressions of Kelly Ripa, Avril Lavigne, Sharon Osbourne, Julia Roberts and many others have gained her a large and devoted fan base. In the 2004-05 season she replaced the outgoing Jimmy Fallon as Tina Fey's co-anchor on Weekend Update.

Along with her work on SNL, Poehler has enjoyed a multi-faceted TV and film career, with memorable appearances ranging from "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" to the movies "Envy," "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo," and "The Devil and Daniel Webster" with Alec Baldwin and Anthony Hopkins.
