Overview

• On her Good Hang podcast, Poehler and Meyers reflected on co-hosting Weekend Update from 2006 to 2008, identifying morning rehearsals as their only tense moments.
• They described how pre-splitting jokes often left a few leftovers that led to playful disputes over who got the best bits during bagel-table sessions.
• Poehler confessed she would jokingly “hex” any joke that ended up with Meyers, miming off-camera spellcasting whenever he delivered a contested punchline.
• Both comedians stressed that despite these skirmishes, they never had a serious fight and that their friendship remains built on mutual respect.
• They credited those spirited exchanges for inspiring their recurring “Really?!” segment, which became a staple of their Weekend Update tenure.
