Though nobody really knows what NBC's The Office spin-off will look like, one thing is nearly for sure: It will star Amy Poehler. The Saturday Night Live veteran is said to be signing on to the show, where she will join the string of cast members who hope to escape the confines of the sketch show for bigger paydays. This has worked well for Tina Fey (30 Rock, Mean Girls), Will Ferrell (Old School, Step Brothers), and Adam Sandler (Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy). This has not worked so well for Tim Meadows (The Ladies' Man), Molly Shannon (guest spots on Will & Grace, uncertainty on the upcoming Kath & Kim), and Rachel Dratch (ahem, 30 Rock). We have high hopes that Poehler, one of the most well-liked SNLers, will succeed outside the show. Mostly because those who stay inside the NBC family have a better shot at not screwing everything up. Unless you're Rachel Dratch. [TVW]

Well with Hillary not going to the oval office then maybe she should get a gig on SNL!
"Mostly because those who stay inside the NBC family have a better shot at not screwing everything up. Unless you’re Rachel Dratch."
Rachel Dratch is doing very well, thank you. She has several movies coming out, She does lots of improv shows and people are ALWAYS asking her for her an autograph or a picture.
Whatever happened to Sherry O. Terry? I thought she was great!
