-==Chronology==
-Fey became a cast member at the beginning of the 26th season (2000-01) when she and [[Jimmy Fallon]] were given the job of anchoring SNL's long-running news parody, ''Weekend Update'' (WU). Their chemistry together at the WU desk gained a sizable fanbase. Fey and Fallon worked together until the end of the 29th season (2003-04), when Fallon left the show. Fallon was replaced with [[Amy Poehler]] on Fey's recommendation, making this the first two-woman partnership in ''Update'''s history.
-Between the 2004 and 2005 seasons, Fey gave birth to a daughter, went on maternity leave for the first two shows of the thirty-first season. For these two episodes, Poehler anchored alongside [[Horatio Sanz]]. Fey returned to the show on October 22, 2005, a mere six weeks after giving birth.
-===Departure===
-At the end of the thirty-first season, Fey left the show to work on a sitcom for [[NBC]]. The show, titled [[30 Rock]] after the iconic Rockefeller Center building where SNL is taped, is loosely based on Fey's time on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''. Her seat at the ''Update'' desk was filled by [[Seth Meyers]], who also took over as Head Writer for the thirty-second season.
