Well, yes, but it's not exactly what you think. Parks and Recreation fans, don't panic. Thus far, Poehler is only confirmed to reunite with former co-anchor Seth Meyers on two episodes of SNL's Weekend Update Thursdays in the fall. Hey, whaddyaknow, said episodes (Sept. 17 and 24, 8/7c, NBC) coincide with — and precede — the return of Parks and Rec at 8:30/7:30c.

Weekend Update Thursday runs for an additional four episodes, but it appears that they'll be Poehler-less. Hmmm, 30 Rock returns on Oct. 15 — perhaps they'll be Fey-full?

Synergy!
