Poehler on 'Verge of Tears' Over SNL Exit

As Amy Poehler preps for her final episodes of Saturday Night Live, the masterful Hillary impersonator says she’s as upset to leave as her co-workers are to see her go. "I'm on the verge of tears every minute,” Poehler tells USA Today. After 7 years with the show, she'll go on maternity leave before the Nov. 4 election and start shooting her first sitcom shortly thereafter.

"The cast and writers there are so dear, dear to me. I can't quite imagine not doing it. I'm so, so sad about leaving,” she said, adding: "As a feminist, I support every woman's right to get powerful enough to be made fun of."
