How You Know Her: Nine years on Saturday Night Live, which included several years alongside Tina Fey on 'Weekend Update', catapulted Amy into comedy superstardom. She currently stars as a delusional public official (as if there is any other type) on NBC's Parks and Recreation, but also has had enough time for some voiceover work in the already-released Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel and the upcoming animated film Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil.

On Playing Male Roles on SNL: "[Impersonating] men can be easier in a weird way, because the makeup makes you look so weird. They'll be like, ''You can do the guy from Six Flags.'' I'm like, ''F--- yeah.'' Sometimes...the less you look like them the better off you are. Usually it dies a slow death at the table if it's not been properly cast." —EW
