Amy Poehler seems destined to be another guest at the Emmys.

While she was a cast member of “Saturday Night Live,” Poehler received two Emmy nominations for supporting comedy actress in 2008 and 2009. In addition, despite the Television Academy’s updated rules barring former supporting nominees from submitting as guest performers, she is eligible to receive a nomination this year for hosting the second episode of Season 51.
