====Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers (2006–2008)==== After the departure of Fey, Poehler continued as co-anchor along with new co-anchor [[Seth Meyers]] for the 2006–2007 season.<ref>{{cite news|agency=Associated Press|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2006-09-21-snl-update_x.htm|title=Seth Meyers to co-anchor 'SNL's 'Update'|date=September 21, 2006|newspaper=[[USA Today]]|access-date=September 30, 2012}}</ref> The duo began a string of running gags, including "Really!?! with Seth and Amy", in which the pair lambast celebrities for lack of common sense. Poehler left ''SNL'' in fall 2008 to give birth to her first child. During the 2007–2008 season, two previous hosts returned to the ''Weekend Update'' desk for one-off appearances–Chevy Chase, as "Senior Political Correspondent" and Tina Fey, as "Special Women's News Correspondent". Women's News was a running segment during the Fey/Poehler era.<ref>{{cite news|last=Sitt|first=Pamela|url=http://www.film.com/movies/amy-poehler-confirms-she-is-leaving-saturday-night-live|title=Amy Poehler Confirms She Is Leaving Saturday Night Live|date=July 17, 2008|publisher=film.com|access-date=September 30, 2012}}</ref> Alaska Governor [[Sarah Palin]] also appeared on ''Weekend Update'' once during the 2008–09 season and ended the segment with the traditional "Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow", as Poehler had left her seat to perform a "Sarah Palin rap".
