Amy Poehler is a longtime Saturday Night Live cast member and co-founder of the Upright Citizens Brigade. 

The 36-year-old comic was born in Massachusetts and got her start at Second City in Chicago. This led to the formation of Upright Citizen's Brigade - Matt Besser, Matt Walsh, Ian Roberts and Poehler.

She appeared in the Upright Citizens Brigade TV show on Comedy Central from 1998 to 2000. The second season features a storyline about a new drug called Supercool and the DEA's raid of the UCB offices.

UCB hosted both the Stony Awards and the Cannabis Cup in 2000.

Poehler joined the SNL cast in 2001. She's best known for her impersonations of Kelly Ripa, Sharon Osbourne and Hillary Clinton, and usually delivers the pot punchlines on "Weekend Update."

On the Feb. 24 show hosted by Tina Fey, Poehler joked: "Rapper Snoop Dogg was given a desk appearance ticket Wednesday night in New York for possession of marijuana. Snoop called the ticket unfair and hard to roll." 

She's appeared in nunerous movies, including Baby Mama, Mean Girls, Blades of Glory and Wet Hot American Summer.

Poehler can often be seen performing (on Sundays) at the UCB Theatre at 307 W. 26 St. in New York. They have second theater in Hollywood.

She married actor/comic Will Arnett in 2003.
