LOADINGERROR LOADINGSeth Meyers and Amy Poehler are great friends, but even they had tension once in a while during their time on “Saturday Night Live.” Meyers opened up about their rare friction during an appearance on Poehler’s podcast, “Good Hang.” “I feel like the most tense our chemistry ever had was mornings — ‘Update’ mornings ― bagel times,” Meyers said on the latest episode, which was released on Tuesday.Advertisement “’Cause someone had pre-split the jokes,” he shared.

“And then there were a few, like, left over that we both wanted.And I feel like there was a real dance.”“Interesting,” Poehler said.

“I thought I would have hidden that, but that’s probably true.I think we were like, ‘Are you going to take that joke? Hmm, I wonder who takes the good joke here, um...’”Meyers then recalled how their typical conversation would go.“Here’s how I saw it from you: ‘Hmm, that feels like an Amy joke.

Do you want it?’” he said.“And I’d be like, ‘I mean, I would love it.

It would mean a lot to me as a friend.I’m asking for it.’ You’re like, ‘It’s a real Amy joke.’”Advertisement “Then I would go, ‘I hex this joke!’ I would hex it,” she quipped as they both laughed.

“‘I curse you and I curse this joke.’”“I don’t remember us ever fighting at all,” Poehler said, as Meyers answered, “That was it ― it was just that.”“We did argue,” the “Baby Mama” star added, though she said they didn’t ever really get “into it.”“I mean, look, ’Really?’ came out of that, right?” Poehler said, referencing a famous bit on “Update.”Advertisement “We like to be frustrated and irritated,” she said.“And I don’t mind being frustrated and irritated with people that I’m close to.” Meyers started on “SNL” in 2001 and eventually became head writer.Poehler and Meyers helmed the “Update” desk together from October 2006 to December 2008....
