Saturday Night Live fans are in their feelings this week as Amy Poehler and Andy Samberg, two of the sketch show’s most beloved alumni, have reunited for an episode of Poehler’s podcast Good Hang with Amy Poehler. The episode, which dropped today and is now available on YouTube, features the two comedians catching up, laughing together, and instantly reigniting the chemistry that made them fan favorites during their time at SNL.

Though they only overlapped on the show for three years, from 2005 to 2008, their comedic bond has remained strong. Poehler, known for her iconic role on Parks and Recreation, and Samberg, the face of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, quickly trended on social media after a teaser photo of them was posted online with the caption, “Come hang with @amypoehler and special guest @andysamberg tomorrow!”

Fans flooded the comments with excitement: “I’m actually screaming,” one wrote. Another gushed, “Oh my god, two of my favorite laughs.” For many, the reunion was more than just a podcast episode, it was a deeply nostalgic moment. “Jake Peralta and Leslie Knope omg,” one user tweeted, blending their most famous characters.

Even funnier, Samberg’s appearance is especially notable because he has publicly declared he dislikes podcasts. One fan joked, “This is major, Andy hates podcasts,” referencing his past comments on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

The episode, now streaming on Spotify and YouTube, dives into the duo’s old sketches, current projects, and why their comedic timing still holds up. For fans of classic SNL and good laughs, it’s an emotional and hilarious trip down memory lane, one well worth tuning in to.
