Among her 2010s film starring roles are Sisters (2015), with Tina Fey, and The House (2017), with Will Ferrell. Her Hollywood star is also growing bright, as she has done several feature films, including Blades of Glory (2006) with her then-real-life husband and Arrested Development (2003) star Will Arnett and the Farrelly brothers-directed remake of The Heartbreak Kid (1993), in which she stars alongside another Arrested Development (2003) star, Jason Bateman. When Jimmy Fallon left at the end of the 2003-04 season, Amy joined Tina Fey as a co-anchor for Weekend Update. She has brought a slew of great performances on every show, such as impersonations of celebrities such as Kelly Ripa or Sharon Osbourne.

By the end of Christmas break of that year, she became a regularly featured performer. After the Upright Citizens Brigade (1998) sketch show came and went, Amy joined the cast of Saturday Night Live (1975) in 2001. Today, the theater is one of the leading centers for improv and sketch shows. However, the group stayed together at the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theater. Later on, the group moved to New York and became a Comedy Central show. In 1996, she joined the Upright Citizen's Brigade with Matt Besser, Ian Roberts, and Matt Walsh. There, she met Del Close, who later became the voice of the UCB opening scene. In 1993, she went to Chicago where she studied at Second City and Improv Olympics. Amy was first involved with sketch comedy when she joined the group My Mother's Flea Bag when she was attending Boston College. She is of Irish (from her mother) and English, Irish, German, and Portuguese (from her father) descent.

Amy Meredith Poehler was born in Newton, Massachusetts, to high school teachers Eileen Frances (Milmore) and William Grinstead Poehler.
