While thousands of at-risk Americans wait, some big Wall Street banks have already secured the in-demand swine flu vaccine for their employees. Goldman Sachs has received 200 doses -- the same amount as Lenox Hill Hospital. Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler devoted their segment "Really?!? With Seth And Amy" to the subject last night, SETH: I mean I know that to you guys swine flu is almost as terrifying as drinking tap water or sending your kids...

Last night on Letterman, Seth Meyers said at least one part of Going Rogue is 100% true: Sarah Palin did reject a crude (and funny) "drill baby drill" joke that Amy Poehler wrote for her SNL rap. Clip at left.  

Oh, “Parks and Recreation,” how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: 1. Amy Poehler’s Leslie Knope may have met her match with Megan Mullally’s Tammy. The library director may be an even bigger nemesis for Leslie than Halloween prankster Greg Pikitis last week. Tammy wanted to build a library over Leslie’s beloved pit, [...]

Hey, what’s that smell? Oh, I know — it’s the ink drying on Will Arnett’s Parks and Recreation contract. An NBC spokesperson confirms that Arnett will guest star opposite real-life wife, Amy Poehler, on her creatively-resurgent comedy in early 2010. He’ll play a possible suitor for Poehler’s character, Leslie. Incidentally, Arnett appears in the same episode that  

Here's a shocker: something from Sarah Palin's memoir that hasn't been disputed. Saturday Night Live's Seth Meyers confirmed a claim made by the former Republican VP candidate that she asked the writers to remove a rather ribald joke from Amy Poehler's rap performance that referenced the phrase "drill, baby, drill" during her appearance on the show last year. The full joke went, "When we're in Wascilla (sic), it's chill, baby, chilla/In the...  

Will Arnett will join his wife, Amy Poehler, on "Parks and Recreation" later this season.The former "Arrested Development" star will guest-star on an episode of the NBC comedy in January, the network says. He'll be playing an MRI technician, which could put him in the orbit of nurse Ann (Rashida Jones), which would almost inevitably lead to a meeting with Leslie (Poehler). We're spitballing here; NBC hasn't given a full breakdown of the...  

Comedy relies on surprise. "Saturday Night Live" has felt painfully dull this season without Sarah Palin to kick around or Tina Fey to do the kicking. Then it surprised viewers this weekend. It kicked President Barack Obama. Even more surprising, it ...

We know we're preaching to the converted here (for the most part), and we probably should have caught this semi-gruesome spoof ad by NYC's Upright Citizens Brigade (which once gave birth to Amy Poehler) before Halloween.
