Emmy Award nominee Amy Poehler stars as mid-level bureaucrat Leslie Knope on NBC's comedy "Parks and Recreation." The new series is a half-hour mockumentary that looks at the exciting world of local government.

The year 2008 was a very busy year for Amy Poehler. Between her seventh season of NBC's "Saturday Night Live" (and her fourth as the co-anchor of "Weekend Update"), a trio of films and a new animated project for Nickelodeon, Amy Poehler was very active. Amy Poehler received her first Emmy nomination in 2008 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on "Saturday Night Live." Due to a change in eligibility, this is an unprecedented nomination, making Amy Poehler the first performer in "SNL" history to land a spot in this category.

Amy Poehler also will continue to produce, write and provide the voice of Bessie in the new Nickelodeon animated television series "The Mighty B."

Amy Poehler could be seen starring opposite Tina Fey in Universal Pictures' hit comedy film "Baby Mama" and also lent her voice to the animated film "Horton Hears a Who!" with Jim Carrey and Steve Carell. Amy Poehler had a starring role in the ice-skating comedy "Blades of Glory," alongside Will Ferrell, Will Arnett and Jon Heder, and she also provided the voice to the boxoffice smash hit "Shrek the Third" as Snow White. Amy Poehler's other feature credits include the hit comedy "Mean Girls," "Mr. Woodcock," "Southland Tales," "Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny," "The Ex," "Wet Hot American Summer" and "Envy."

Renowned as a "brilliantly inventive sketch comedian" (Entertainment Weekly, 11/05), Amy Poehler boasts an impressive arsenal of outrageous characters—from the hyperactive Caitlin and one-legged reality show contestant Amber to a manic host of "Good Morning Meth." Amy Poehler has also contributed memorable impressions of Kelly Ripa, Avril Lavigne, Sharon Osbourne, Paula Abdul, Senator Hillary Clinton, Sharon Stone and Michael Jackson.

Amy Poehler joined the "SNL" cast from the Upright Citizens Brigade, a sketch/improv troupe originally formed in Chicago. Amy Poehler and the U.C.B. relocated to New York where they had a sketch show on Comedy Central for three seasons on which she was both a writer and performer. In addition, they opened a theater currently regarded as the premier sketch/improv comedy venue in New York City. Amy Poehler and the U.C.B. were featured in "A.S.S.S.S.C.A.T.: Improv" an improvised comedy special on Bravo.

Amy Poehler has made memorable appearances on television ranging from NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" (as recurring character Stacey, Andy Richter's little sister), "Arrested Development," "Wonder Showzen" and "Undeclared." Amy Poehler also was a voice on "O'Grady" and "The Simpsons."

Amy Poehler lives in New York City with her husband, Will Arnett, and their new son.
