Amy Poehler reunited with her former Weekend Update co-anchors Tina Fey and Seth Meyers during the October 11 episode of Saturday Night Live, creating a memorable moment for longtime fans. The appearance showcased a playful joke competition that highlighted the lasting chemistry between the three comedians.
A Surprise Return to the Weekend Update Desk
Host Amy Poehler, 54, made a special visit to the Weekend Update desk alongside Colin Jost, who was delivering the headlines. Interrupting him, Amy declared it was
“time for a good ole fashioned ‘Weekend Update’ joke off.”
Shortly after, Tina Fey and Seth Meyers joined them, reuniting the trio of former co-anchors at the iconic news desk.
In a lighthearted moment, Amy joked,
“My first wife and my second wife everybody,”
referencing Tina and Seth with her signature wit.
The History Behind the Reunion
The reunion brought back memories of the segment’s notable history. Amy Poehler originally co-anchored with Tina Fey from 2004 to 2006. When Tina left, Seth took her place, co-anchoring from 2006 to 2008 before continuing solo for several years. Cecily Strong later joined Seth to co-anchor.
Colin Jost became a Weekend Update anchor in 2014, replacing Seth Meyers, with Michael Che joining him that same year as co-anchor, continuing the legacy of the segment into the next decade.
A Memorable Night for SNL Fans
The joke off between Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, and Seth Meyers was a standout moment from the October 11 SNL episode, drawing praise from the audience and social media alike. This reunion not only showcased the enduring friendship among the comedians but also celebrated the rich history of Weekend Update.
