Massachusetts Has a Lock on "The Office"

Rumor has it that Burlington's own Amy Poehler may soon leave Saturday Night Live to join Massachusetts natives Steve Carell, B.J. Novak, and John Krasinski on "The Office." A Boston College alum, Poehler is known for (wo)manning the SNL newsdesk, imitating HRC, and playing that incredibly terrible one-legged farting character. (We really hope that's not who--or what--she's going to be on "The Office.") Might Conan forego his upcoming Tonight Show gig to become the next Bay Stater to saddle up at the desk farm? We'll have to wait and see. Correction: Poehler would be joining a spinoff of "The Office." Oof. Duh.

Outside UCB and SNL her roles have been either psychos or inbred hicks. (At least in Baby Mama her character grew out of it.)

Hoping that her role on the Office will be neither, but the Office's characters do tend towards addle-brained allegories, so bets are off.
