Poehler, 53, stopped by Today on Monday, Feb. 10 and then co-hosted the show's fourth hour with Bush Hager, who took the opportunity to remind the comedian of a Saturday Night Live sketch from two decades ago where Poehler impersonated her.
Bush Hager said she thought Poehler and Tina Fey's 2005 sketch — which saw them play Jenna and her twin sister Barbara Bush — was "excellent" and then got the comedian "sweating" as she played a clip from it live.
"I’m totally sweating," Poehler said of watching her impersonation while sitting next to Jenna.

Jenna asked if it was "weird to watch that" while sitting next to her, and Poehler thanked the host for "having such a good sense of humor."
"We had fun in that sketch. We didn’t come too hard," she said of her and Fey's impersonation, and Jenna agreed, saying, "No, you didn’t come too hard."

Jenna said that Poehler and Fey "got a lot right" in the sketch, which Fey wrote, but noted that at the time it was airing, she was already a teacher in Washington, D.C.
"Y’all might be thinking, ‘Oh, she’s making fun of college Jenna,' but by then I had actually graduated. I’d walked across the stage and I was a teacher of third-graders in Washington D.C."
While the Today with Jenna & Friends host was familiar with the sketch, she didn't realize the twist that came later, which was a joke about her and her twin having a "twin language" that their dad George W. Bush "couldn’t figure out."
"Oh my God, I’m dying, can we watch the whole thing?" she asked after Poehler shared that, though they instead opted to have Jenna watch it when she went home.

"It is weird, right?" she asked Poehler again of talking about the sketch with her.
"It is really weird, but that is kind of part of the job of SNL is you do end up sometimes standing next to the person that you're impersonating," Poehler said. "But thank you for having a good sense of humor about it and it was really fun to do."
