On October 12, 2025, veteran comedian Amy Poehler took the stage to host Saturday Night Live, commemorating the show's 50th anniversary. Poehler, who was an SNL cast member from 2001 to 2008, used her opening monologue to reflect on the significant changes since the program's debut in 1975.
Poehler highlighted the recent rise of AI actress Tilly Norwood, who has been dominating headlines and polarizing Hollywood. The comedian joked about her own aspirations to become an actress, quipping that she was willing to do "full frontal" if asked, unlike the AI robot.
Poehler also poked fun at the lack of women's credit cards in 1975, joking that now she's "kind of like somebody take my credit card away." Despite the tough times, the Parks and Recreation star encouraged the audience to find a place that feels like home, where they can laugh with friends.
Ahead of Poehler's return, the show released a promo video where she admitted she didn't recognize any of the new cast members, marking one of the few moments this season to address the recent cast overhaul.
