Amy Poehler: Then and now

SNL: Senator Hillary Clinton

Who better to play opposite Tina Fey's Sarah Palin than Amy Poehler? In September 2008, 'SNL' opened the show with a bang when Poehler played Sen. Hillary Clinton in "Nonpartisan Message From Sarah Palin & Hillary Clinton." The show, which had been dropping in the ratings in recent years, had the highest ratings since 2001, and tallied more than 8.5 millions views on NBC's website. And Poehler pulled it all off while several months pregnant.
