Amy Poehler, the 53-year-old actress and comedian, opened up on her podcast Good Hang about some of the inappropriate Saturday Night Live (SNL) jokes she was part of. "I misappropriated. I appropriated. I didn't know. I did know," she explained, acknowledging the mistakes made during her time on the show.
Poehler, who starred on SNL from 2001 to 2008 and also served as a co-anchor, reunited with her co-star Will Forte on the June 17 episode of her podcast. During their chat, they discussed some of their less savory SNL jokes, including pranks behind the scenes.
Lessons Learned
"Everything has an expiration date," Poehler said, referring to the importance of learning from mistakes and doing better. She remembered an In Memoriam segment for the "canceled and tasteless jokes of its past" that SNL played during its 50th anniversary celebration, which showed "way inappropriate casting for people."
"We all played people that we should not have played," Poehler admitted, acknowledging the mistakes made during her time on SNL. "I misappropriated. I appropriated. I didn't know. I did know."
