Amy Poehler says she’s Office bound

From AP:

Amy Poehler confirmed to The Associated Press that she’ll be joining the planned “Office” spinoff, paving the way for her eventual exit from “Saturday Night Live” and promoting the comedian to primetime.

Speaking by phone Thursday shortly after her Emmy nomination for outstanding actress in a comedy series on “SNL,” Poehler said she will join NBC’s spinoff of “The Office.” She’s expected to star.

“I can kind of confirm that I will be working in some capacity on that show,” said Poehler. “I don’t really have any other details yet.”

The 36-year-old Poehler has been a cast member on “Saturday Night Live” since 2001 and in recent seasons has served as a co-anchor on “Weekend Update.”
