  1. >The topic arose as Fallon, 50, discussed their past on Saturday Night Live, during which they co-hosted “Weekend Update.”

    >”We’ve been friends for over 30 years, and we’ve been together doing stuff a lot, but I was — I’m kind of like Tina’s second wife because you guys did it first,” Poehler told Fallon, to which Fey hilariously said, “Yes, that true.”

    >”I came in, and I got all the second wife goodness,” Poehler said, causing the audience to laugh. The actress hosted “Weekend Update” with Fey from 2004 to 2006 and with Seth Meyers from 2006 to 2008.

  2. I know it’s a joke.

    But it never felt that way. Jimmy and Tina felt like the mischievous younger brother to the annoyed older sister. Amy and Tina felt like partners or wives, to keep the analogy.

    Both dynamics worked. But they were super different. It never felt like Amy was taking Jimmy’s role.
