How many episodes of Weekend Update Thursday this year?

According to Zap2it, NBC has ordered six episodes of ‘Weekend Update Thursday’ this season, but so far, only three of them have been scheduled on Sept. 17 and 24, and Oct. 1.

And the only announcement so far has been that Amy Poehler will be there.

So will we get 3 or 6 episodes? Last year the show was promoted with appearances from Tina Fey, Bill Murray, and Will Ferrell. This season we've only seen a promotion that Amy Poehler will be there. The first Weekend Update Thursday plays right before the premiere of her show, Parks and Recreation.

That said, last year was an election year. So perhaps they are being a little more conservative this year and waiting to see what the reaction is like.

Enjoy!
