Aubrey trying so hard not to laugh🤣🤣
Her reaction when Amy and Colin switched seats gave such embarrassed, “MOM!!” energy, it was perfect.
She was like that in the show too 😂
And she succeeded better than the others!
Some of the best P&R moments were Aubrey trying to stay in character around Andy
Right? Hard to take my eyes off of her anyway, but to watch her gripping hard to stay in character was fun.
Amy Poehler must HOST SNL again. Period.
Okay Aubrey! 😂❤ we see you, we love you, but not to much cause that's gross.
Yassssssss
Yes please, let's have a me back. This reprise of a minor role she played was a fiasco
Fraaaaance!
I'll ask her to host.
"When you work for the local government doing the bare minimum is doing your part."
A true protege of Ron Swanson
That's why I thought it was more realistic than The Office and Community
@@rdear I dunno. I think Ron would correct her for her attitude. Ron doesn't believe in doing the minimum -- he believes in obstructing the works of government, not performing them badly through quiet quitting.
Not just the local government. Proud federal employees too.
Doing the bare minimum is doing your part should be the anthem of the California DMV
I knew as soon as Amy showed up, we are getting a Parks and Rec moment. So nostalgic.
No you didnt
@@dougamer31 come on, it's obvious. A star of the show is already host *and* a second star of the same show (which aired on the _same network_ as SNL, don't forget) shows up in an earlier cameo? They knew. _Technically,_ if you want to be pedantic about it (which, in fairness, clearly you do because you're "that guy" I guess) they didn't _know_ unless they work on SNL. However that's like me saying you don't _know_ the sun's going to come up tomorrow morning; technically accurate, but yeah, it will
@@micahnewby7964 😂❤
Well yeah of course. Amy was introduced as Leslie Knope
I knew as soon as I read the title
You know a show is iconic when you've never seen an episode but still know all the characters so well. 😂
you should watch all of parks and rec; ain't bad!
Your name is the best! Please watch parks and rec you wont regret it...loving kittens is Leslie's whole vibe lmao
It’s an all time great comedy. Watch it
😮 I only recognized Amy Poehler.
THIS statement was me watching Aubrey & then former anchor Amy comes out in awe of the setup of SNL & my head exploded!!
Leslies obsession with Joe Biden 🤣🤣🤣
Glad they kept that running gag going 😂
Someone needs to be obsessed with him. Because I’m tired already.
They could have used a Monica Lewinsky type joke here, considering Joe's obsession for smelling girls hair
@@dttruman I'm not sure you know what a joke is😘
@@terwillagermcghee4148 I am not sure you know what a "better" joke is
As I always say, everyone in this world needs a friend like Leslie Knope. Even April can't help but smile around her.
Meanwhile Ron Swanson is living his best life in the post-apocalypse Tammy-free

I just love the idea that Amy will only tell a joke if it isn't mean. ❤
She is hilarious but with a good 💖
Amy will tell hard hitting biting jokes. Leslie will only tell them if they’re nice!
If you had cancer, I’d be happy
If you read her book, she explains why.💜💙❤
Oh, women from "Parks and recreation". Btw I have a funny piece of this tv show on my cha nnel with Plaza and Offerman.
Amy hasn't been on SNL much in the last few years so I thought that cameo in the monologue was all we'd get. A lovely surprise. I appreciate how much Amy still gets and respects the character - still keeping her as determined and upbeat, rather than going the easier comic road of being bitter and toxic.
So she is not Chevy Chase?
@Hunter That was the point. She shouldn't be that way, it would have been cheaper writing to make her.
aubrey trying so hard to act disinterested but can’t help her aura radiating giddy dream coming true energy is such a mood and i love it for her
Can you imagine Perd Hapley on weekend update?!
“This is a live show…that’s on Saturday!”
"Be a dog catcher and say you didn't find any" Why did this make me chuckle 🤣😭
@@gardenlover9663 but i think in most cases the stray dogs that are found might go to kill shelters and April would be totally against that so in that case it’s totally in character for her
@@gardenlover9663 do you know what happens to animals caught by animal control? it's usually not very good.
Now parks and rec is a show that needs a reunion
PREACH!
They did one for covid!
They have multiple ones. The latest one was for COVID. You can see some on youtube
@@MrTroubleHimself multiple ones?
@@mrrobot8973 they did a paley center 10 year reunion a couple years ago.
Parks and Recreation 10th Anniversary Reunion at PaleyFest LA 2019: th-cam.com/video/NbGwFACf4mQ/w-d-xo.html
“Back when Seth Meyers used to do the show by himself” 😂
And before h8m, she did it herself, she sat in that chair for like 4 years
@@Djnightmare14 With Seth, though.
@@gatchrocks Amy killed it everytime she was behind the desk. That era had a STRING of amazing Update desks, to be perfectly honest. Picking my favorite of that bunch is difficult.
@@gatchrocks yes, you are right, and that’s why I didn’t say all by herself. Don’t be dumb.
Jesus Christ people even arguing on the fucking Saturday night live comments section
Aubrey trying so hard not to laugh warms my cold dead heart.
Cold dead heart? I can tell a clown when I see one.
Was rewatching parks and rec and this happens!!?? This is LITCHERALLY the best moment of this episode ever!
I understood that Chris Traeger reference!!
I love how Amy is acting like a proud mother to Aubrey. So wholesome.
Amy's always been a proud mother to Aubrey. She said back then that she felt like Aubrey was her adopter daughter. They're been good friends since Parks
Aubrey killing it tonight and LOVING the return of Amy Poehler. Rosa Barks😉💥🎈
Weakest performance as April I've ever seen.
@daveedee3626 Same thing I was thinking!!! She has definitely lost the April touch. Amy fell right back into Leslie.
@@7261amorgan Absolutely. Amy seemed like a proper actress in this scene.
@Apryl Grant I feel like she's just didn't get that comfortable doing April live in the studio
@@daveedee3626 Shit was garbage. No if and's or but's!
This was truly for our generation of SNL, you know who you are.
Early-to-mid 2000s. Up to 2008, I presume.
And you're proud of this?
Generation X who are now between 40 & early 50s to be more specific.
What an absolute kick in the nostalgia bone, man. 😌
Right here! ✋ 😁
The happiness in their voices at the end "I'm April ludgate - and I'm Leslie Knope!!"
Aubrey continuing to stay in character even as the camera pulled back was awesome.
Dude your comments are all the same. A troll being a troll… go figure
best part! I love those little moments, I'm so glad they keep them in
Absolutely LOVE that this gave us both a return of April & Leslie as well as Amy Poehler to the WU anchor chair. ❤
"Alright... Uh, oh no. That's too mean." _Goes straight to puppy joke._ 💕 Leslie / Amy is a national treasure.
National Damn Treasure.
This sent me back a decade and made me so very very happy. We miss you, Leslie!
They are trying very hard to improve the ratings, by bringing back some iconic members
@@gatchrocks If you look at ratings going back a few years will see a decline, but all you want to do is talking about the opposition. Bottom line, they aren't as funny as they use to be.
@@jpc2470 Even the late night talk shows ratings have dropped besides SNL and that Gutfeld was getting better ratings
@@jpc2470 Drew Gooden has a great video on that 👍
Leslie would most DEFINITELY have a time slot reserved for the M&M’s store 💀
The only thing missing during this segment was a surprise appearance of either Nick Offerman or Chris Pratt as their characters from Parks & Recreation that even Aubrey & Amy didn't know about.
Or Beck Bennet doing his absolutely spot on Ron Swanson
@@knotationmusic Ron Swanson and Tammy 2 making out on top of the desk.
@@dttruman Bald spots, from friction.
@@Kenobi_Cowboy Mustache bald spot, from friction
Chris Pratt’s too busy stomping
Koopas.
We need Amy Poehler back on snl, she would amplify everything, even if it's one single person. The charisma she has is unbelievable and irreplaceable.
or Eddie Murphy
Mom. M i
Quit lying to yourself. These clowns are not funny. It's pathetic what people will just accept these days.
Leslie Knope has never been on SNL before. That was a nice experience - seeing a character brought back in such a dedicated way.
I feel like I just opened a Christmas present in January!
This is exactly what I was gonna say 😂
And before you ask: *Yes, this is canon.*
Amy hasn’t lost a step and picked up Leslie like it was nothing
Amy is remarkable she hasn't lost a beat in her comedic timing I hope she is thriving, sure looks like 💅🏻👑✨
I love that Amy most likely did this just to support Aubrey 🤧
Despite her stealing her wallet earlier
That loud pop Aubrey got from the audience when she appeared says it all!
I’m so glad Leslie and April get to travel through the multiverse to be with us - even if it’s just for one night.
I like Aubrey. Her fans are really really glad that she’s getting her flowers. They’re so vocal.
😃This just made my weekend!
KNOPE 2024🇺🇸
😂We sure could use her
YAS!!!
KNOPE 🇺🇸
SWANSON 2024
aubrey slaying throughout + parks and rec reunion + amy weekend update??? this episode was everything.
Thank you Amy and Aubrey!
Our world needs Leslie Knope. It's so nice to see her. If only briefly.
Who remembers Amy + Tina Weekend Updates?!
Terrible time period for weekend update
Audrey trying desperately to not break character next to Amy is just so adorable.
Colin only had to say Pawnee for the audience to realize they were getting the best kind of cameo. A parks and recreation cameo
The amount of incel jelly in these comments is hilarious. Aubrey and Amy are ICONIC!
Leslie Knope is a natural at this it’s almost like she has experience on a live sketch comedy show or something
I would like to think Leslie and April are actually living like this, in the Parks and Rec universe. ❤️
Amy P in the newscast chair again made me tear up a bit. ❤Time is going by so quickly .
I'm in heaven. I haven't been this excited for a host in years. And then Amy.....I want to savor this.....#pawneeindiana sidenote: I got the coolest parks and rec keychain for Christmas that has Amy's and Aubrey's voice saying their quotes from the show. Amy looks spectacular!!! 😍😍😍
Yessss I’m so happy parks and rec cameo on SNL!!!! So exciting!!
“Just be a dog catcher and pretend you couldn’t find any” god I miss parks and rec❤
I feel like that sketch with ron swanson would be a gem
3:15 Why is it when Amy and Colin switched places they all of a sudden looked like the perfect family? And Aubrey was the perfect teenager! 😂
The Amy-as-Leslie-pretending-Weekend-Update-Amy-never-existed is a level of meta that breaks my brain
Awwwww.... that is so sweet. I didn`t expect them to be in charachters🥰🥰🥰
You can tell how much Amy loves coming back to SNL and as Leslie Knope
April Ludgate sneering through an appearance with her boss is classic Parks & Rec.
As someone who started watching SNL when Amy & Tina were doing update, this put the biggest smile on my face
I loved this Parks & Recreation reunion!
It always warms my heart to see these characters brought back to life. Best comedy ever!
I miss the show soooo much
Absolutely heartwarming. Leslie Knope forever!
Its official. Time to rewatch Parks and Rec
"Be a dog catcher and say you couldn't find any" 😂😂😂😂
This is LITERALLY, the best idea SNL has ever had in recent time.
The pure JOY that this clip just brought me...
Amy returning to Weekend Update AS Leslie Knope?? 🤯 So surreal and meta!
Seeing Amy back on weekend update was awesome! Great episode.
Gotta love it... right as I'm (finally) getting around to watching Parks & Rec! How awesome!!!
This instantly put a smile on my face after a weekend of feeling sick.
My favorite April moment is when she plans the animal adoption and a woman drops off her pet instead and April starts screaming and swearing as she starts running after the woman. So her dog catcher comment was perfect
As soon as I saw April I knewwwwwww Leslie would show up!!!!!!! i knew it!! Park&Rec Loveee
"When you work for the government doing the bare minimum is doing your part"
..😂🤣😃🌼🌼Amy!💐🌼🌼
I’m crying, this is so iconic. The world needs this so much rn
Yes! Loved the Parks and Rec throw back. Greatest comedy of all time in my opinion.
😆 🤣 AMY IS AN SNL LEGEND!..I Luuuuved The "ROSIE BARKS" Joke...😆..Amy Has Still Got It! She Nailed That News Story👍🏿💯👍🏿
"Remember when Seth Myers did Weekend Update by himself & made it look easy"? LOL!!
I didn’t know I needed this in my life, but I definitely did. Loved it!
This is a historical reunion
*"Doing the bare minimum is doing your part" i-* 😭💀
This melted my heart and now I am legit ready for a new season just giving us updates on how everyone from Pawnee lives now
It's nice to see characters come back for a few cameos after their show's long done. Always a neat 'what are they doing now' especially when its a long-lived character folks get invested in.
This is so iconic 😭😭 I love Parks and Rec 🥹❤️
That was pure magic 🤣❤
Heehee, Leslie doing the mom shimmy in the anchor chair. Perfect.
I miss Parks so much ❤
Me too :(
My new favorite snl sketch ☺️
Loved this! P&R was always such positive show with characters that actually loved each other... I still watch it on Amazon Prime.
I REALLY needed this.
I feel emotional in all the right places.
The serotonin that seeing Leslie and April brought me is unreal
Nearly as much as when you got your 16th booster 🤦
Iconic characters. I didnt realize how much I missed them
This is such a treat. Thank you SNL.
I need a reunion😭😭😭
I LOVE LESLIE KNOPE STILL TO THIS DAY
I'm screaming. This is the best Parks and Rec reunion 😀😀😀
This made my night. Best part of SNL last night 🤣
We need a Park&Rec Reboot ASAP. Just give Chris Pratt a fat suit
This makes me miss Parks and Rec so much!
❤❤❤here I go again to rewatch Parks and rec for the 6th time. Thanks Peacock!
Uh, this was phenomenal. Amy was amazing! Haha.
Leslie Knope is a generational-type character, and Amy slipped back into it so easily here. Very cool.
