OK, now Amy Poehler is done with “Saturday Night Live.” We think.

Six weeks after giving birth to baby boy Archie Arnett, Poehler made a surprise visit to “SNL” on Saturday to open the show as Hillary Clinton and to anchor “Weekend Update” one more time.

“You thought I was gone, didn’t you?” Poehler, as Clinton, said.

In the opener, Hillary Clinton was eventually joined by hubby Bill (Darrell Hammond), who said the political power couple was back.

“You voted for change, but you ain't never going to change this,” Bill Clinton said.

“We Clintons are here to stay,” Hillary Clinton said. “You may think we're down, but like the South, vampires and Britney Spears, we will rise again.”

The cameo likely doesn’t mean Poehler will stay on “SNL” as she’s busy with her as-yet-untitled prime-time NBC comedy. But she may pop in as Hillary Clinton on occasion, just like Tina Fey did playing Sarah Palin.

This just in (updated Monday afternoon): Poehler's rep tells the New York Daily News that she'll be back this coming Saturday.

"Amy was excited to return to 'SNL' for a surprise visit and will also appear on next week's show before officially departing to focus on her new NBC sitcom," Lewis Kay told the Daily News.

Read some of Poehler’s quotes from “Weekend Update” after the video below.

"Weekend Update" quotes:

AMY POEHLER: "O.J Simpson was sentenced Friday to 9 to 33 years in prison for robbery and kidnapping. Prior to his sentencing, O.J. apologized and said he did not know he had broken the law. But reminded the judge that normally when he breaks the law, he gets to go home."

POEHLER: "The runoff in the Georgia senate race was won this week by Saxby Chambliss, who is the incumbent Republican Senator and not, as I had believed, an obscure font."

SETH MEYERS: "Barack Obama announced Wednesday that New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson is his choice for Secretary of Commerce. Which should be an easy job, now that there isn't any."

MEYERS: "The head of Regal Entertainment, the nation's largest movie theater chain, said that as the recession gets worse, more people are coming to the movies. Because nothing helps you forget your financial troubles quite like a five dollar Sprite."

POEHLER: "The New York Public Interest Research group said this week that one in three popular children's toys contain hazardous chemicals such as lead, arsenic and mercury. The worst : 'I Don't Feel So Good Elmo.'"

POEHLER: "Nearly 84 million people went online on Cyber Monday to shop for Christmas presents. The internet is a great way to shop, because there are very few real stores that will let you make your purchases and then hang around masturbating."

MEYERS: "Police in Missouri arrested a husband and wife burglary team who allegedly had robbed about 60 homes. The way they worked was he would rob the homes, and she would stand outside and tell him he was doing it wrong."

MEYERS: "Boy George on Friday was convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort. The world's weakest male escort."

POEHLER: "Blake Fielder-Civil, the husband of Amy Winehouse, said in an interview that Winehouse became a drug addict because he introduced her to drugs, and that 'to save her life' he has vowed to leave her. Because nothing gets people off drugs like being dumped."

POEHLER: "A hunter in Missouri, who had shot a deer twice, was seriously injured when the deer, who wasn't dead, jumped up and gored him. Or as the story was reported in the deer community: 'Serial Killer Injured as Victim Fights Back.'"

POEHLER: "The British town of Torbay is spending 60,000 dollars to buy flip-flops for drunk women so that they can walk home without having to deal with high heels. Because if the walk of shame was missing anything, it was a comical sound effect."

MEYERS: "A recent survey of 25 European countries revealed that French men have the longest penises, with an average length of 15.48 centimeters. Luckily that does not make me feel bad, because I do not understand the metric system."

MEYERS: "In an interview with 'Meet The Press,' Laura Bush said that when she and George Bush leave the White House in January, the thing she will miss the most are 'all the people that are around us all the time, from the ushers and butler, to our own staff.' So, basically anyone who, at any point, has put their nuts on their toothbrushes."

POEHLER: "Houston's Bush International Airport has set up karaoke boots for travelers waiting for flights. Because often when I'm waiting in an airport I think, 'I wish I had a non-professional musician singing Journey right now.'"

MEYERS: "A walrus at a zoo in Turkey has become a major attraction after learning to play the saxophone. Which begs the question: how bored are Turkish zookeepers that they're just strapping instruments to animals and seeing what takes?"

MEYERS: "TLC has created a new reality series called '17 Kids and Counting' which follows an Arkansas couple, their 17 children, and the birth of their 18th child. It will be immediately followed by another new series: 'Vagina 9-1-1.'"
