I'm really sad to see Amy Poehler leave "Saturday Night Live" after eight seasons. She had a great run, the highlight of which, for me, may have been her Nancy Grace impression. It was awesome. She gave life to every sketch she was in, and there was a time during her years in the cast when she was clearly the show's best asset.

That said, I do think it's time for her to move on and try new things. I'm praying that her forthcoming NBC sitcom will be good, and that she'll remain on our screens for another chapter. Here's her goodbye from last night's Weekend Update, during which she said, "Being able to do over 140 shows with my friends and my family has been a dream come true":

Will you miss Amy?
