Saturday evening’s episode of SNL was a big one for two reasons. Firstly, the wonderful and beloved Amy Poehler announced that it was officially her last show. She’s off to take care of baby Archie and then launch her own show for NBC. Secondly, Fred Armisen‘s impression of blind New York governor David Paterson caused some controversy. Check out the clip of Armisen wrecking her goodbye. It’s funny, but don’t let the NY governor’s office know you think that.
Poehler kept her composure as she made her announcement. “This is my last show,” she said on “Weekend Update.” “Being able to do over 140 shows with my friends and my
family has been a dream come true. “I love you,” she said to the audience, “and I will miss all of you very much.”
Meanwhile, Armisen mocked Paterson’s vision impairment and admitted cocaine use. And he wasn’t thrilled about it as evidenced by a statement he made to the NY Daily News.
“I can take a joke,” he said and added, “only 37% of
disabled people are working and I’m afraid that that kind of
third-grade humor certainly adds to his atmosphere.”
Ugh. Great. Now we all suck for laughing. Everything about this is bittersweet.
