“In Into the Woods, Cinderella runs from her prince, Rapunzel is thrown from a tower for her prince, and Sleeping Beauty just thought she was getting coffee with Bill Cosby,” Poehler cracked.

The audience hooted and hollered as Fey continued, “I don’t know if you saw this on the news today, but Bill Cosby has finally spoken out about the allegations against him. Cosby admitted to a reporter [Cosby impression] ‘I put the pills in the people! The people didn’t want the pills in them!'

“No, Tina. That’s not right,” Poehler continued. “It’s more like [Cosby impression] ‘I got the pills in the bathroom and I put them in the people!'” Watch the video above to see Amy and Tina's joke play out -- and to see how Jessica Chastain and Lena Dunham react.
