SNL baby

Seth Meyers alerted the world tonight to the birth of Amy Poehler and Will Arnett's brand new baby (a boy, apparently!!). Congrats to the couple.

Bonus points to SNL for having Maya Rudolph (back for the night!) and Kenan Thompson sing a lovely little ditty for Amy and baby. Too sweet for words.

On top of all the sappiness, it was another funny night for the show. The heavy political season has served the writers well. With Amy's last minute absence, the show was obviously down a sketch or two, and Coldplay ably stepped in to fill the time. I admit, I'm not normally a big Coldplay fan, but they performed well tonight.

We'll miss Amy. Word is that she won't return to the show after maternity leave (she heads to work on that Office spin-off that maybe isn't actually a spin off but who really knows). Either way, we love a mother going back to her job bringing the funny, even if it is in a new role.

Hulu highlights from tonight's show coming when they post...
