Poehler hosted SNL on October 11 and participated in a "Hunting Wives" skit alongside Fineman, where their characters made out on a couch.
"The context was crazy because it was so early in the morning, and I started to realize what a legend she was," the actress recounted. "She literally created UCB [the Upright Citizens Brigade], which is how so many of us wound up on SNL and met our lifelong friends. So I was crying to her. I was like, 'I just want to thank you for providing me a community in my 20s.' And then we would make out, and I would be like, 'Yeah, great.'"

Sydney Sweeney hosted 'Saturday Night Live' in 2024.
Fineman also spilled the secrets behind this past weekend's viral SNL sketch, "Sorority Meeting." In the skit, Mikey Day sneaks into a sorority, disguising himself in a mask.
"The journey of that face was crazy. I don't know if you saw the movie Long Legs...the mask smelled. It had a vinegar stench," she explained. "It was out of a horror film, and by the time the live show came, it was better. We get face casts for the hosts, and it was Sydney Sweeney's face."
Sydney Sweeney's face was used as a model for a recent 'SNL' skit.
The Euphoria actress previously hosted SNL on March 2, 2024, and the production crew still had her face mold.
"I was like, 'God, those lips are so perfect. How do they do those lips?' And it's Sydney Sweeney's lips," Fineman said.
Chloe Fineman Reflects on 'SNL' Journey
Amy Poehler recently hosted 'Saturday Night Live' for the third time.
The comedian gushed over how it feels to still be a part of the television franchise after six years in the cast.
"[There are times when] we're on no sleep...and it's crazy, and you hear all the trauma and the horror and the toughness. But I think the 50th [anniversary], you saw how sweet and special of a show it is, and the charm that all those former cast members bring, and the family that they are," she exclaimed. "Coming back into this season, I just enjoy it because it's fleeting, and it's special, and I'm really having the time of my life."
