Big Office Spinoff Casting News!
Filed under: TV News
Looks like Saturday Night Live is about to get a little suckier!
Funny lady Amy Poehler is in advance negotiations with NBC to star in the net's upcoming spinoff of The Office.
Who's going to do Hillary Clinton on SNL when the Second City alum leaves?
Producers have been very secretive about the spinoff, so we're surprised (and glad!) that this juicy tid bit got out!
The yet-to-be named spinoff is scheduled to join NBC's Thursday roster in February, following a post-Super Bowl premiere.

When are we gonna get to see Will Arnett in a sex tape???
I'd rather hear about Slutty Barbiee
and Peanut Rademacher! Than this Shytt, kays?
, Haha?
Test
haha i agree with the first comment
No!!!!!!! Amy, why? I'm not watching SNL anymore. God Damn!
Oh…no. I love her husband and I really want to like Amy Poehler but her acting just plain sucks. And I was so looking forward to this spin off.
I like Amy, she was funny in blades of glory and baby mama!
Ill try to watch the new show
Will Arnett!
This post = win!
BoOoOoOoOoOo… When I saw the heading & that picture I thought Arnett was going to be on the spin-off… Pohler ain't funny. Sheeeit…
Cool. I love Amy, but she's way overexposed on SNL. More Kristen Wiig!
I LOVE YOU AMY POEHLER or however you spell your name
Add Matt Besser, Matt Walsh, and Ian Roberts to the Office spinoff. UCB for life, bitches!
Wil Arnett is funny as hell!! Arrested Development needs to come back!
WHO CARES!!!!!!
Yo
POST MY SHIT BITCH!!! I WANNA FUCK!!
G.O.B.!!!!!!! LOVE HIM!!! Her…not so much.
Eh, I don't know how well she'll do on an office spin-off. I guess she's one of the best for the part, but she can't really…like, ACT, not seriously.
Can't beat Steve Carrell
YEAY!! This is such good news!!! I LOOOOVE The Office, and I'm so excited for the spinoff, Amy will be GREAT in it, she is an excellent comedy actress! It's good that she's moving on from SNL, at least she did it while she was still at the top of her game!
Plus SNL now has Kristen Wiig who is also sooooo freaking good! Love Penelope!
Why is Will Arnett orange????
Perez, you're kind of a moron. They won't need a Hillary Clinton impersonator on SNL since Hillary lost. Well, at least this post wasn't riddled with typos like most of your others.
GAH why don't they just get rid of everyone, it's going to suck balls now.
NO! NO! NO!
She's alright on SNL, but "The Office" is so much better with no-names, like the girl that replaced Toby. If she had been someone who was really famous prior to the show, it would've been bad.
Besides, her humor is all wrong for that style of show. I hope to God she does not get it!!!!
no amy needs to stay on SNL!
lame. and i think… the office should never end. its the best show ever!
so lets just call off this "spinoff", shall we?
Will Arnett is such a hottie. yum.
Oh my God, no! SNL will blow.
If you look closely at the alumni lists of the Second City you WILL NOT find Poehler's name. The bastards never hired her to a resident stage. Just another reason they've lost touch with talent.
Why is this guy so orange? It hurts my eyes.
Love Amy Poehler!! I'll start watchng The Office now that shes gonna be on. She's also the voice of Bessy Higginbottom on Mighty B. It's a pretty funny cartoon for all you parents out there that are forced to watch cartoons. It's my favorite.
Re: Why is Will Arnett Orangel –
Was thinking the exact same thing.
To anyone who cares or isn't aware they're going to make an AD feature length film. Naturally, Howard's executive producing.
WHO is Hillary Clinton? No one cares
•
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
•
yet another pricelessly funny SNL cast member bites the dust!
•
i will miss Amy on SNL
•
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
Good for AMY!!!! She and WIll Arnett arethe funniest things to come out since Comedy was invented!!
SNL sucks……sorry to say. It's horrible sober and it's worse drunk!!!
Second City?
Don't you mean Upright Citizens Brigade?
I'm going to need Will Arnett in this spinoff (or in a sex tape). I'd rather he be the star than Amy. He is a hot, sexy bitch.
I love amy!!!
I haven't cared for SNL since the 90's They aren't funny or original..they are just plain boring and full of themselves
what I meant to say is that SNL reminds of when we all use to sit around joking and reminising laughing at ourselves (drunkor stoned or whatever the case may be) but not being funny to anyone else except for those who are dumb and drunkor stoned……
Why the fuck would they need to have anyone do Hillary Clinton on SNL now that she's no longer running for president, dumbass.
good. now maybe snl will get better. amy poehler sucks in a major way. her husband, on the other hand, is terrific.
I am soooo sad. First Maya Rudolph and now Amy! Hopefully, the new show will as kick ass as 30 Rock was when Tina Fey left. Now where the hell Maya??
They are looking like clowns

Oh I think thats awesome I love the Office and I love her
She is mostly from Improv Olympic… not Second City. She even holds an annual improv marathon in honor of our Improv Olympic teacher, Del Close, every year at UCB. Get the facts straight, Perez.
what? shes doing something without tina fey?? good for you, amy. i can't wait until this show is canceled after 2 episodes.
and as for snl, it hasn't been good in yeeeeears.
Amy Poehler leaving won't exactly be a loss for SNL…
Yes, suckier (nice word) with 6 Emmy nominations.
This deal is not finalized. Yes, more Kristen Wiig on SNL. She's is pure brilliance.
Perez - how many donuts do you eat when watching TV? Do you eat the real big fat ugly ones with the bad hair?
ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER!!! GREAT NEWS
I'm sure that she would have stayed on SNL if it looked like Hillary Clit-on was going to be the next president. But since that isn't going to happen- she's making a great decision. She was the only funny one on the show.
Re: Caitl – Oh yea, the show will be just 'great' without her.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA -THATS the funniest thing I've heard all day!
Wasn't Will Arnett set to star in that spin-off? My theory is that Alec Baldwin is leaving 30 rock and Arnett's character Devin Banks is gonna replace him. I love Amy Poehler sooooooo much and want her to have her own show… but not if it means leaving SNL before the end of this season!
Mitch if you are reading this… PUT WIFE OF G.O.B. in the Arrested Development movie!
Look at that dead sexy guy. Will Arnett.
Re: Johnn –
you have obviously never seen UCB
Amy Poehler has no talent as a comedian.
There - I've said it. And you all know it's true.
