As I always say, everyone in this world needs a friend like Leslie Knope. Even April can't help but smile around her.

Amy Poehler must HOST SNL again. Period.

You know a show is iconic when you've never seen an episode but still know all the characters so well. 😂

"When you work for the local government doing the bare minimum is doing your part."

I knew as soon as Amy showed up, we are getting a Parks and Rec moment. So nostalgic.

I just love the idea that Amy will only tell a joke if it isn't mean. ❤

Amy hasn't been on SNL much in the last few years so I thought that cameo in the monologue was all we'd get. A lovely surprise. I appreciate how much Amy still gets and respects the character - still keeping her as determined and upbeat, rather than going the easier comic road of being bitter and toxic.

“This is a live show…that’s on Saturday!”

“Back when Seth Meyers used to do the show by himself” 😂

[OvSpP]

This was truly for our generation of SNL, you know who you are.

[ShinRyojin]

I love how Amy is acting like a proud mother to Aubrey. So wholesome.

[drummerrck]

Aubrey continuing to stay in character even as the camera pulled back was awesome.

[christatimbers]

Aubrey trying so hard not to laugh warms my cold dead heart.

[toritori]

Absolutely LOVE that this gave us both a return of April & Leslie as well as Amy Poehler to the WU anchor chair. ❤

This sent me back a decade and made me so very very happy. We miss you, Leslie!
