Variety reports that "Saturday Night Live" star Amy Poehler is in final negotiations to join the cast of the new post-"Office" comedy from Greg Daniels and Mike Schur.

The series, despite initially being called an "Office" spin-off, isnt expected to be one after all — confirming speculation that the show would not be an extension of the original but a whole new series.

Poehler would join the already-cast Aziz Ansari, who became the series' first cast member last month.

Pohler joining the cast is great news, as is the idea that we're looking at a whole new series. I wasn't at all confident about kind of going the "CSI" route.

Figured it would be this and they just used that as a way for marketing. Azia Ansari is great in Human Giant (best sketch comedy show presently on TV) but I wonder if that means there will only be one more season.

Just hope the quality of The Office doesn't dip.

I thought Ed Helms's Andy was going to be part of it.
