Amy Poehler & Bowen Yang Accuse Role Model of ‘Diva Behavior’ in ‘SNL’ Promos: ‘It’s Gonna Be One of Those Weeks…’
Apparently, Role Model is not Amy Poehler.
In new promos for this weekend’s Saturday Night Live, Poehler — a former SNL cast member who will return to host on Saturday — and current star Bowen Yang accuse the singer/songwriter of “diva behavior” for pointing out that simple fact.

“Hi, I’m Amy Poehler and I’ll be hosting SNL this week with Role Model,” Poehler says in the video, followed by Yang echoing her exact line. When Role Model starts saying the same thing, he stops himself: “Hi, I’m Amy Poehler… I think the cue card’s wrong?”
“Role Model, that kind of diva behavior doesn’t fly around here,” Poehler says sternly.
“Yeah, I’m not Amy Poehler…,” Role Model points out.
“Oh great, it’s gonna be one of those weeks,” Yang sighs knowingly to Poehler.
Elsewhere in the promos, Poehler takes the opportunity to serve court papers to Yang (“You know what you did!”).
While Role Model will make his SNL debut this weekend, Poehler was a cast member from 2001 to 2008 and is returning to host for a third time, including a co-hosting stint with longtime castmate Tina Fey in 2015.
Role Model (real name: Tucker Pillsbury) has arrived in a big way this year, taking his breakout hit “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out” all the way to the top of the Adult Alternative Airplay chart last month for his first-ever Billboard No. 1. Back in April, when Role Made made his Tonight Show debut, his promo co-star Yang made a cameo as “Sally” for the performance — an onstage role also played by Natalie Portman, Olivia Rodrigo, Kate Hudson, Hilary Duff and Troye Sivan at various concerts and festivals this year.
Saturday Night Live airs at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT on NBC and streams on Peacock. (See all the options to watch SNL here.) Watch the new promos below:
