Amy Poehler Gives Birth to Baby Boy Archie

“Saturday Night Live” star Amy Poehler and her comedian husband Will Arnett welcomed their first child Saturday, Oct. 25, a healthy baby boy they’ve named Archie Arnett.

Comedians Amy Poehler and Will Arnett became parents Saturday to a baby boy who weighed in at 8 lbs., 1oz., the couple’s representative, Lewis Kay, said in a statement, adding that “Amy, Will and Archie are all healthy and resting comfortably.”

This is the first child for the couple. Poehler, 37, revealed in April that she and Arnett, 38, were expecting a baby, telling People magazine she felt “overwhelmed with blessings.” The two have been married since 2003.

Archie Arnett was heralded into the world by Seth Meyers, Amy Poehler’s co-anchor on “Saturday Night Live’s” segment “Weekend Update,” who told viewers Poehler had not been able to join them that night because she was “having a baby.”

Maya Rudolph, former longtime SNL cast member and a special guest this weekend, sang a special song for Poehler together with current cast member Kenan Thompson.

Amy Poehler has been on SNL since 2001 and is the first cast member in the show’s history to be nominated in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category at the Emmy Awards.

Will Arnett had his career breakthrough in 2003, when he was cast in the immensely popular comedy series “Arrested Development,” receiving an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

Poehler and Arnett co-starred in the 2007 comedy “Blades of Glory” as a brother/sister pairs figure skating team.

Poehler has also starred in “Mean Girls” and “Baby Mama,” alongside former SNL cast member and head writer Tina Fey. She revealed last month that she would leave SNL and star in her own as-yet-untitled sitcom on NBC.

Arnett is currently shooting the Disney comedy “When in Rome” with Kristen Bell.
