This is Amy Poehler's first child with husband Will Arnett.
Amy Poehler had a good excuse for missing work on Saturday - she was having a
baby.
The "Saturday Night Live" star welcomed Archie Arnett, her first child with
husband Will Arnett this weekend.

Seth Meyers, the comedienne's "Weekend Update" co-anchor, shared the good news
on SNL Saturday night to a cheering crowd.
"Amy Poehler is not here tonight because she is having a baby," he said.
Poehler, who played a wacky surrogate mom in "Baby Mama" earlier this year,
told the Daily News in April that she's excited to become a mom.
"I'm great with kids," she said. "I think I'm still a big, giant kid. I
understand them and usually we're the same size. I think I understand the way
they look up at the world. I get it."
Poehler, 37, announced she would be leaving the sketch comedy show after her
son's birth to star in her own NBC sitcom.
