Give Amy some love

Few other institutions have launched as many stars as "Saturday Night Live." Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy ... up through Will Ferrell. The well appears to have run dry. A slew of "SNL" regulars like Will Forte and Fred Armisen pop up in films now and again, but none have broken out like Chevy and Eddie did. Andy Samberg's "Hot Rod" proved he may not be ready for the A-list, at least to look at the film's grosses.
Yet the best Not Ready for Prime Time player hasn't had her chance at bat yet, and I can't figure out why.
Amy Poehler is feisty, funny and fearless in her character sketches, and we're still waiting to see her first starring vehicle.
Fans can catch out her formative years Sept. 18 as Comedy Central releases "The Upright Citizens Brigade" seasons one and two on DVD.
Poehler's best bet might come in 2008, when she co-stars with Tina Fey in "Baby Mama."
Until then, we'll have to watch her on the small screen, a medium that can barely contain her talents.
