Remember back when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler expertly hosted the Golden Globes. Then Girls creator Lena Dunham won the titular award? Then she thanked Tina and Amy for helping her “get through middle school,” something the two hosts later good-naturedly teased her about? Well Tina Fey has taken things a step further and funnier.

In her latest hosting gig on Saturday Night Live, Fey starred with a few new cast members in one of the best SNL parody sketches yet. In a promo for the new season of HBO’s show Girls, we were introduced to Blerta (Fey) who joins the cast of twentysomethings. Fey’s deadpan delivery of Blerta’s one liners and harsh truths found a perfect home with the other “girls.”

Plus new SNL cast member Noel Wells does a pretty dead-on Dunham impression as Hannah.

Pixar continues to draw in the biggest names in Hollywood. The animated studio has landed Amy Poehler, Mindy Kaling, and more to star in their upcoming movie, Inside Out.

The film, which also stars Bill Hader, Phyllis Smith (The Office), and Lewis Black, is set to hit theaters on June 19, 2015. Inside Out places a young girl named Riley and the happenings of her mind at its core. Each of Riley’s emotions has its own voice and in addition to Joy (Poehler) and Disgust (Kaling), they are: Anger (Black), Sadness (Smith) and Fear (Hader).

Up director Pete Docter is at the helm for this Pixar outing, so audiences should be ready to bring their tissues with them to the theater.

"This film is one of the most unique films I have ever been associated with,” Pixar Chief Creative Officer, John Lasseter, said. “This is a magical, wonderful, original film."

With that line up of comedic actors, Inside Out looks set to be another funny and poignant installment from Pixar. The emotions played by each actor are perfectly cast.

Can anyone else already hear Poehler’s whoops of delight and Kaling’s disgusted scoffs?
