\n\tAmy Poehler<\/a> is returning to host Saturday Night Live<\/a> for the first time in a decade this weekend, and she admittedly has no idea who any of the freshman castmembers are!<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a new promo video for Saturday night\u2019s episode, released Wednesday, the Good Hang podcast host comes face-to-face with featured players Jeremy Culhane, Kam Patterson and Veronika Slowikowska. Instead of initially admitting she doesn\u2019t know them, Poehler plays it off as if she\u2019s old friends with each of the castmembers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cUh oh, here comes trouble. Don\u2019t hit me!\u201d she jokingly said to Slowikowska, who went on to introduce herself to Poehler. \u201cI know who you are. You are always sticking it to the man, giving him hell.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s my second week,\u201d Slowikowska replied, dumbfounded, before the Emmy winner went on to joke that she remembered Patterson from \u201cwhen we used to tear it up back in 2005\u201d and Culhane as \u201cthe old slow burn.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou have no idea who we are, do you?\u201d Culhane replied, prompting her to admit, \u201cI don\u2019t. No, I\u2019m sorry. I thought I was coming into this building to get a mammogram, and it turns out I\u2019m hosting. Oopsie! So, I\u2019m very nervous. And when I\u2019m nervous, I make things up and I get face blindness and I point my fingers around a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCulhane, Patterson and Slowikowska are three of five new additions<\/a> to SNL<\/a> after the series underwent a cast exodus<\/a> this summer. Ben Marshall and Tommy Brennan additionally joined season 51 as featured players, while Ego Nwodim<\/a>, Heidi Gardner<\/a>, Michael Longfellow<\/a>, Emil Wakim<\/a> and Devon Walker<\/a> exited the series.<\/p>\n

\n\tPoehler has made quite a few SNL appearances over the years since she left the late night series in 2008. Saturday night\u2019s show, however, will mark her third time serving as host, and she will be joined by musical guest Role Model.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Parks and Recreation star follows Bad Bunny, who led the show last week, where he addressed backlash<\/a> to him being named the headlining act<\/a> of the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe full slate of hosts and musical guests for SNL season 51<\/a> has not yet been revealed, though Sabrina Carpenter will serve both roles on Oct. 18\u2019s show.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amy Poehler is returning to host Saturday Night Live for the first time in a decade this weekend,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":287854,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[1014,185,171,1747,1933,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-287853","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-amy-poehler","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-saturday-night-live","12":"tag-snl","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115341373310524155","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
