"This is my last show," Poehler announced from her "Weekend Update" anchor desk. "Being able to do over 140 shows with my friends and my family has been a dream come true.
"I love you," she told the audience, "and I will miss all of you very much."

She won't be off the small screen for long.
The star -- who welcomed son Archie with husband Will Arnett in October -- has signed on for an NBC show from The Office's executive producer, set to air next year.

In September, Poehler -- who scored laughs as Hillary Clinton and Katie Couric on SNL this season -- first announced plans to leave SNL.
"It's gonna be really hard Boyz II Men hard to say goodbye to yesterday," she said at the time. "SNL was dangerous, late-night, last-minute and star-studded, but like any good drug, you need to know when to put it down."
